The Darkness Within
The Darkness Within We sometimes hear people admit the darkness within themselves. As my friend Shane puts it, “I never knew darkness until I married her!” For Shane, the darkness within him is the outcome of his experiences of the misery of his life being married to his ex-wife. He is now in a situation where his happiness and freedom are at the mercy of someone else’s hands. He said, “My body is starved for love, touch, and affection. It causes internal pain and disrupts my physical health!” I can relate to his personal attestation. When I missed the man, who means the world to me it makes me think of the song by blue October: “I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head they crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed”. Missing someone so much is darkness in itself.

Rural Rovers
Now, listen. When we moved here, it’s not like we had no clue. We had some clue how things worked in the country. For instance, we knew about songbirds, they built nests in our Japanese Maple and Weeping Cherry. We knew too about wild animals: deer nibbled our lawn hostas and bedded nights in our day lilies. Squirrels scrambled through our attic and field mice through our pantry; wasps built assiduously behind our shutters, beneath our rafter awnings, and into the small screw holes of our rocking chairs. The peonies drooped tiny sugar ants, the hummingbirds bulleted across our deck, raccoons got into the trash after washing their hands in the cat’s water dish. We gawped and hawed at suburban streaked sunsets over goblets of burgundy on our porch swing, look at that we would cry. Would you just look at it.

My Own "Dance Hall Days"
As I was listening to "Woody Boogie" by Baltimora for probably upwards of the sixtieth-nineth (kidding), perhaps even the hundredth time, I was inspired to write this specific foray into articlicity (my recently-new word for delving into the art(?) of article writing.

How do you define a soulmate?
Often there is such a feeling, the hustle and bustle is followed by a deeper loneliness. When I was young, I called friends for friends, and a large group of people reveled all night. I think many people kept partying because they were afraid of being alone. However, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. When the song ends, it is still inevitable. Face yourself alone. The so-called soulmate, I think it should be such a person, when you are alone and talking to yourself, you will think of her involuntarily, as if she lives in your heart. The she in your heart is not from your own imagination, but is projected into your heart by the interaction of another person in the real world with you. Soul mates focus on spiritual needs, which are somewhat similar to the so-called Platonic love. Whether the gender is the same or not does not constitute a necessary condition, but most people are accustomed to the soul mate relationship between the opposite sex. When it comes to meaning, I think it is similar to the meaning of human life or life. From the cosmic level, life does not actually have any ultimate meaning. Human life is a process of constantly exploring and challenging the world. To understand the external world, we can learn through various tools. The meaning of the existence of a soul mate should be to help you better understand your inner world, know yourself, learn from others, and understand your pros and cons. Soulmates are the best mirrors. The meaning of soul mates is to help two people better support each other and live a good life. This sentence seems to be talking about marriage, but in fact, the highest state of love and marriage is not a soul mate. And for many makeshift marriages, this is also an unattainable state. Husbands and wives have the obligation to be loyal to marriage. However, secular rules, morals or laws can only limit people's behavior, but not the mind. In this sense, as long as the body and behavior are loyal, it can be considered as right The marriage is loyal (it's just a matter of fact, maybe the female compatriots will not agree with this view too much, light spray). Soulmates are just a kind of existence at the ideological level. In fact, the most inescapable question of discussing this topic is this question, whether people who are married can still find their soulmates. Married people bear the responsibility of family and marriage. However, time is the most ruthless thing in the world. It can erase everything, including the original love and passion. When these are gone, some marriages can transform love into longer and stronger The family love, but the other part of the marriage can only make do with one piece of chicken feathers, this is the reality, maybe it is also the sadness of marriage. Personally, I think that people are a complex of contradictions in socialization. Since there is a marriage contract, they should obey the agreed morals and laws. Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, whether they are drunk and dreaming of death, whether they are eating and waiting to die, or a lonely and painful thinker, as long as they do not endanger others, they are all worthy of respect. However, man is not only a body, but also a mind. Putting aside social responsibilities and only talking about personal spiritual pursuits, being a happy pig or a painful philosopher is a problem. I think that a thoughtful person, a person who constantly explores the meaning of life, must also be a Someone who is trying to find a soul mate. There are always a few lucky people in the world, and most people may not be able to find a real soul mate all their lives, but. What does it matter? Even if we cannot become a Buddha, it will not affect our practice. In fact, that sentence is very good, not forgetting the original intention. We have to think about it, how can we live this life? When we came to the world, what was my original intention?

I'm not afraid to be such a tough girl
In February 2014, I took a car with my suitcase to Anhui province to record "Super Speaker". I was happy and excited on the high-speed train. On this trip, I was an unburdened passer-by, a relaxed bystander, and an expectant stranger. All I needed to do was to experience the shocks and surprises carefully. After that, I went back to school to live a real life.

7 Bad Habits of Delivery Drivers
We have gotten use to the convenience of deliver right to our door, of a mostly hot and ready to eat meal. This saves us time in our schedule. For the most part it eliminates us having to rush through lunch hour or dinner hour traffic. If we have a sudden change in our schedule or work goes longer than expected or we just don’t feel like cooking today, we can usually rely on delivery of food to our door.

to go back
growing up I always heard people say how much they loved the past. opinions ranging from we must learn from the past to move forward to I wish I could have lived in ____ decade. as I got older I heard more such as "life was simpler" and "people knew their place." however now after the last few years or even the last few months, I realized something. these people only wanted to go back to the time before because it benefitted them. most of them have never looked based the version of for example the 50's that most of us think of. the one with the milkshakes, and sockhops. they never look just below the surface at what happened behind the photos. sadly, many times they did they never cared. they didn't care about the murders, the rapes, the lynchings. they didn't care about the mothers who died while Drs debated if her life had enough meaning to save her life.
