family

Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.

The Viking and the Elf
I guess at some point in a person’s life, we struggle with the idea of defining ourselves. A good bit of me, by definition, I guess goes back to my grandparents on my mother’s side, the Viking and the Elf.

Unity for the Sake of Unity?
I wish to assert that unity for the sake of unity is foolishness. Here is how I arrived at that conclusion, and why it matters.

Is lyssavirus the deadliest virus on earth that can make you a zombie?
Now, first we will discuss what the zombies are. A zombie is defined as a dead person brought back to life without the ability to speak or move easily. But over the years, the meaning of the word "zombie" has changed, becoming associated with slavery, voodoo, reincarnation, ghosts, plagues, indifference, radiation, and infections. Zombies can be supernatural, living but under control, or dead but reanimated. They are frequently reanimated in contemporary zombie fiction, but there is still a wide range of them, including slow zombies, running zombies, bursting zombies, spitting and frothing zombies, zombies with weapons, or zombie limbs without bodies. They could have absolutely no memory, personality, or intelligence left at all. They don't all spread disease by biting (sometimes it's by airborne viruses or disease-carrying insects), not all of them are driven to consume human brains (though most seek human flesh), and not all of them were once humans (zombie dogs are another manifestation).

What is emotion? What is emotion?
Emotion is the feeling of "other people's feelings". Human feeling is the feeling of "other people's feeling". And feelings: between people, estrangement and disagreement are absolute, the essence of communication is to compromise, to find a mutually acceptable solution. People's minds are as different as their brains are complex. People's sincerity in dealing with differences and efforts to communicate constitute the most meaningful feelings between people. People often talk about family love, friendship and love, all belong to this kind of situation. The more you value a person, the more you respect his uniqueness, the more you want to understand his thoughts and help him achieve his wishes. Relationships are not about reciprocity, but feedback. The other person notices and recognizes your efforts, which is the reward for the active communicator. If the active communication signals are not reciprocated effectively for a long time, the relationship will gradually come to an end. Those who initiate communication, or as people often like to say, give more, don't have to regret giving more. In any set of real relationships, the person who makes the first move benefits more. Because it was something she wanted, and she got it. And the other person is just wanted and got. Throughout this process, the emotional experience of the active person is always more profound and unforgettable. Even when the relationship ends, it's because the passive side thinks, "Well, there are other options. During the duration of the relationship, his emotional experience and self-growth were less profound and meaningful than his partner's. Even though he seems more free and "powerful". The one who takes the initiative to give always knows what he likes and what he wants. She may have complaints, but no regrets.

Lingering Heart
Who do you think you are? Stepping into a life so pure, changing perspective and expecting more. We were just friends who help each other grow, and now you live in my head wanting me to love you forever more—breaking me down from light to shadow, making me hate to love and the things that follow. Hurting in doses like a disease in transit, loving someone else now feels like roaches on the carpet.

Morning Episodes. Top Story - August 2022.
I used to dream. I once had grand dreams of becoming a world-renowned chess player. What happened to them? Perhaps these aspirations have been eroded by the march of time. I once stared at the 2 x 2.5 inches board and its 32 pieces with the utmost fascination and curiosity. What happened to my love? Perhaps maturity and songs from chirping birds have forced me into committing adultery towards my past endeavor.

Something’s Gotta Give
A little over 3 years ago, I met my now husband. We were both working at an animal rescue; I was the kennel manager and he was my first trainee. We bonded very quickly over our love of the dogs we were caring for, and we quickly began spending a lot of time together. This was a second job for Ben, his full time job was working overnight at Home Depot. He spent almost every morning with me at the kennel, we ended up showing up to shifts together to help each other, went out to lunch afterwards, and then went he would go home to nap and take care of his dog. We started dating a couple months after meeting, and 5 months in, we got our first apartment together. He ended up leaving Home Depot to work for someone we met through the rescue, and things started to spiral a bit from there. His hours became sparse, and he was essentially on call 24/7. We didn’t even get to spend our first Valentine’s Day together because the woman he was working for needed him the entire day. Eventually, he had enough of being take advantage of and began working at Petco, hoping his old position of dog trainer would become available.
