humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
It’s the End of the World as We Know It.
On August 6th, 1945, the face of warfare was forever changed with a single strike, as the first ever atomic bomb was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima, resulting in nearly 135,000 casualties (Avalon). Days later, after the Japanese’s refusal to surrender, the United States dropped yet another, this time over the municipality known as Nagasaki, resulting in over 60,000 total deaths and injuries (Avalon). Nuclear weapons have seemingly failed to corroborate rationale, corroding common sense and promoting international instability. Though nuclear disarmament is an unlikely scenario in the modern era, nuclear abatement is a plausible alternative that may be the solution necessitated by global insecurity.

Growth
I would love to use my past experiences to tell my story and give hope to those out there who need it. I want to be a voice to those who feel like they can’t speak and prove to them that they do have a voice. I want my story to prove that anyone can overcome barriers, just as I have. I want to make a change to our current homeless situation as well as provide stability and health to the community.

The Home of the Brave
It's a prominent line in the United State's national anthem, "land of the free and home of the brave." In the country's early stages, it was a cry of hope, of promise. To fight for what was right, to fight for peace - hypocritical in itself - but a mantra for those who only had that one goal in mind; freedom. This home, we've found, extends much further than America. And it always had.

Imagine Our Life
Bullets flew through the air, and against the sculpture of an angel on either side of the sculpture's base, a Russian male soldier and a Ukranian woman who has taken up arms, caught their heaving breaths. The explosion of a grenade in the distance kicked dirt their way as their ears rung from the destructive sound. They each let out a painful moan, and in that moment, alerted each to the other's presence. The muzzle of their machine guns edged out in front of the statue and they turned abruptly to face each other, their machine guns pointed at each other, their fingers on the trigger, and there they froze as their eyes locked, and under the sculpture of angelic wings they shared a blessed moment, given both the power of telepathy and foresight.

The Magic behind the Twin Flame Lie
The nonsense regarding TWINFLAMES, SOULMATES and KARMICS Okay, I think this is societies way of making their physical attractions to people they really, really, really want to sleep with i.e women into something pseudo-spiritual. I know what you are saying I already hear it while I’m typing…"noooo, it’s special, we have a special connection”. Yes, I get it, you FEEL like you have a special connection to the person you are really ATTRACTED to. Well, I have some unlucky news for you but that is how everyone feels when they are attracted to someone. And that doesn’t make your attraction any more spiritual then the next attraction. The biggest problem that I find with everyone’s sudden obsession with the TWINFLAME is well everything. Mainly how the only people who seem to feel like they have a TF are women who are prone to chase men. So, do I think this whole TF BS was started by the pseudo-spiritualist who need a way to make people obsessed with their brand of pseudo spiritualism so they can continue to make money off you, YES, YES I DO think that.

What Goes Inside an Introvert's Mind?
The previous concepts of the pieces I wrote revolved around self-esteem and self-image so my mind is occupied by these themes lately. As I wondered what could be best suited for the next series, I stumbled upon a certain line of questioning.

The Moment of Freedom
Moment of Freedom in Your Life Inner peace is a state of being that is hard to attain. To find inner peace, it is important to first understand what it means. Inner peace is the feeling of being at one with oneself and the world around you. What does this mean? It means that you are comfortable in your skin, in your environment and that you are not feeling any negativity or stress.
