To Linkie: The Best Dog Ever. AI-Generated.
Dear Linkie, It has been a while since I last wrote to you. I just wanted to let you know that we are okay. The other animals are severely lacking in your department. They don't fuss at the water bowl when it's empty like you did. Little man takes after you which is super funny. We claim that you were really "his dad" with the way you treated him and the way he's growing up.. The house is a bit quieter without you here. I miss you more than you know.

Instinct Good or Not
Instinctive Reactions: Understanding the Power of Immediate Responses Instinctive reactions are immediate responses to stimuli that occur without conscious thought. They are deeply ingrained in our biology, shaped by evolution, and crucial for survival. Whether it is pulling your hand away from a hot surface, flinching at a loud noise, or feeling an instant sense of danger in certain situations, these automatic responses serve as protective mechanisms. But instinctive reactions are not just limited to physical reflexes—they also influence our emotions, decision-making, and even social interactions.

Finding Me
Song Inspiration: Find My Way Back-Cody Fry 25th March 2025: For the past several days, I’ve been in limbo, somewhere between exhaustion and uncertainty. I’ve spent most of my time sleeping. My body finally decided to catch up on all the rest I’d missed over the years. I recently lost my job. It’s a terrifying and surreal experience, one, because I didn’t see it coming, and two I’ve never had this kind of stillness before. I’ve always thought that if I ever left work, it would be on my own terms.

Building Character
Building Your Character Is Important Character is what defines a person. It is the foundation of who they are, how they act, and how they treat others. Unlike skills or knowledge, which can be learned quickly, character is developed over time through experiences, choices, and personal growth. It is what shapes a person’s values, principles, and integrity.
