For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Love changes Everything
I am a great believer that love changes everything. It is the greatest quality there is.Patience and Trust right behind it. If a person or an animal has never experienced Love, they most likely will not trust you,and in most cases be aggressive. When love is not there walls are built up. I have seen this time and time again. Some people may accept this with people but not with animals. Animals have emotions too. For us to have a society that works there are certain things that are needed. If we apply them to our lives I can guarantee we will see a difference,not only in the world but in ourselves. I want you to write them down. Meditate on them, apply them and prove me wrong. Now here are the ingredients that if you apply them they will change your life forever. Love Patience Trust Forgiveness Empathy and Listening. There is something important you have to understand for this too work. Most people do not understand forgiveness, a lot of people have the wrong idea about forgiveness,and find it hard to do, because !they have the wrong idea. Once you know how it really works it is much easier too do.

Why I Write
Why I write As a generally creative person, writing provides me a medium to hash out half spun ideas in a way that exclusively thinking about something doesn’t offer. For example, when presented with an emotional situation I must address, I find it easier indeed to clearly convey my standpoint through writing, rather than face-to-face discourse. Occasionally, during this process, I discover my opinion or point of view to be flawed; having even been known to switch sides (a.k.a. consent my error) by the end of the exercise.

Refugees
20 thousand dollars that amount could be a year's meal, a life-changing surgery, the down payment for an apartment, on second thought, is not such a large amount, it certainly doesn't pay even closely for the pain those bastards caused my father, but it's still more than enough to change my life... I remember when I get to Canada, it's cold, snow is a beautiful thing but when it touches your bare skin for the first time you feel like dying, nothing to do with the Caribbean sun, although if I think about it right, the heat and cold burn almost the same, as if they were the same, like the times when hunger feels so deep and painful in the stomach that it is not possible to eat anything, or when the tiredness of a double shift at work is such that all the body wants to do is jump, dance and laugh. I wonder if those who destroyed my land loved it so deeply that this feeling could do nothing but be confused with anger and hatred.

The Prospect Of Prosperity
The Prospect of Prosperity They arrived on new land. One by one. Each person from a place where disparity is inherent because oppression is the norm. Their families: forced to relinquish their right to civility by being reduced to begging for their next meal. Their land: plundered by foreign settlers fueled by greed and monetary interests. They yearned for the consensual sentiment of life, liberty and happiness which propagated the desire to settle new land.

The Black Notebook
The Black Notebook By N. Harold Donley “ NO! WAIT! THAT’S MY CAR!” Running out of the corner cafe into the cold rain, I watched my little red station wagon disappear around the corner on the tow truck. I stood there for a moment, in the middle of the street, cars skirting around me.

My Life Story - Buhay Amerika
First of, I just want to tell you guys a little bit about myself & my family. My name is Joemarie C. Cristi, I was born in the Philippines on December 23, 1992 and have more than 10 years of experience in the workforce (1 year in temp warehouse jobs, 1 year as team lead for xoom.com/other retail & customer service jobs, 3 years as CNA, 1 year as Pharmacy Tech, 3 years in rideshare/delivery as lyft/uber/eaze & 1 year in design/marketing/media work), 8 years of self education in mushroom cultivation/5 years in foraging, some education (CNA & Pharmacy Tech), and Bachelor's Degree in Multimedia Design/Graphics & Web Development. Currently, a full time dad of our over 5 month old baby & freelance graphic/media designer/mushroom grower & forager/part time gamer. I have a retired father who has a Bachelor's Degree in Biochemical Engineering, a hard working mother who has a high school diploma and an older brother who has a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering and Technology and currently the manager at KLA-tencor. I've been married since 2018 to my wife who has a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry with a minor in history, a Doctorate in Pharmacy and is now the pharmacy manager of Lucky's. So who would've thought I would be where I am today? After all, I was just a poor little boy of the Philippines who migrated to California Bay Area back in the year 2002. I was only 9 years old and my older brother was 16 years old at the time and we lived with my dad and his brothers & their family. So for over 10 years I experienced living in a crowded place without much privacy (until I met Brianne who is my wife now around the year 2016). In the beginning, I experienced being picked on by other elementary school students because of my strong Filipino accent and the fact that I didn't know how to speak the English language very fluently until I was here long enough and took some ESL classes in middle school. I didn't get my high school diploma because of me getting distracted over a long distance relationship I had and thought it was real love at the time (when I was 17 years old) so I dropped out of high school just to meet this person in the Philippines but later on decided to get my GED, my driver's license, my first car (with my dad's help) and went through job after job.
