7 Children Who Were Abducted and Located Alive
As a parent, the thought of your child being taken from you is horrifying. It is rare to see, but there have been cases of children returned to their families days, weeks, and even years after being abducted. It’s cases like these that parents hold onto when their child can’t be found. These parents and children were blessed to have been reunited, despite the odds.

Farewell to Portland Oregon
It was a fun place to live I moved to Portland almost 18 years ago. When I arrived, I did not plan on staying because I don't stay places more than 5 to 8 years. I may stay in the same city or surrounding area, but I don't stay in the same house. BUT — I did stay put here and in one house — because I loved where I lived — a floating home on a river. I liked my neighbors, and I loved my lifestyle.

Where Conspiracy Clichés Come From
I must have passively come across this quote a hundred times since the start of the Pandemic. Maybe even just as much before, but quieter, like pre-2020 seems to be in our nostalgia. Along with "NWO", "Global Reset", and Globalism, as well as a whole hotchpotch of other zaney sound bites, one quote keeps emerging;

A Lot of Men Can’t Be Consistent to Save Their Lives
It’s yet another day remembering your previous relationship, from friends to lovers and now strangers, it was as expected as the break light of day. You’re relieved but you wonder why it was so easy to break up with him, the memories left of him say it all — you suffered emotional abuse, now you’re done with everything so there are no tears left to shed, all the crying was done when you two were still together.

Enjoying Life
What am I feeling? How do I stop? Why is everything so much more pressing and straining now than it was before? Simply because? Isn't life supposed to be more than just surviving? Why has the world been constructed in such a way that the only reliable thing is work. Everything revolves around working and making a profit.

"Technology the new bully?
Bullies are bullies, bullies we always had. But now comes social media, and it's gotten really bad. I remember the days; most bullies were found in school. Now bullies have the technology to broaden outside of school. Bullies are freer, I say it today. Even celebrities are downing the people that look up to them hey. Hey, hey, hey, we need some Fat Albert Today. Because it is more than celebrities, most shows sometimes enforce the bad. I mean, at least pull some Tyler Perry and then add. Add what you might say? Add a reason for the negative share. If you are going to down someone, at least make it known it's bad out there. Bad out there in like what Tyler once said. It's not what they say; it's what you answer too, get it in your head. I'm not here to preach, but I am here to talk—freedom of speech on all that I got. But freedom of speech has gone a little far. Tell me why it's okay to belittle, chasing many to a bar. If not a bar, look at our youth gunning down schools; it got far. Not saying the actions are correct but do we study why they got that far? People can look my way and say, you're being judgmental today. But my judgment is based upon the wrong actions I faced today. Actions that I've encountered, and yes, I've blown up too. Time to come back to why would a youth gun down a school? Not cool. Not remarkable, but if we see most of the youths were bullied G. What can one do when coping is no longer something they can do aye? Aye, cause it genuinely hurts, parents need to pay more attention. I just bought something that said it's right for me to use someone, did I mention? Dam, that's right, technologies are no good for me man. Tell me, why would I not listen to a celebrity? I mean, I won't listen because I have the willpower. But what about the youths who have no way to devour? Devour all the bad, and realize the story that they say? Say okay, most of it is terrible, but it's a reality. So back to the bullying, I am not saying it's cool. But what do you do when the one you look up to advertises that being a bully is cool. I mean, they don't get to say it; it's all about their actions. Some people find joy in belittling and then looking at their actions. But then again, it could be a star misunderstood? Like I've come out and said stuff that could have been misunderstood. But that is a mistake one can easily correct. But what about those that continue after they realize their threat? See, I can give an example, more than once, I lost my cool. Did my lives on only me or talk to my phone's video to avoid an action uncool.

Who Founded this Chicago 1905 African American Newspaper?

Childhood
Childhood Another Time In the days of my childhood, kids were repeatedly told, “Don’t put that in your mouth! You don’t where it’s been”. It was to me, one of life’s hardest choices. Either listen to my mother’s stern voice or ignore her and pick up the unwrapped candy lying in the middle of the sidewalk. The candy beckoned, “Pick me up, eat me, I’m yummy.”. A glance up into my mother’s unflinching eyes and the dilemma was resolved. Not on my life am I disobeying her. The candy stays where it is.
