The History of my "Stolen" Ideas
It All Started with Duck Tape When I was a young kid, around age 10, I fell in love with Duck Tape. I taught myself dozens of crafting techniques through trial and error to learn how to fully utilize the material. Within a year, I could make anything out of Duck Tape. I made a shield, gloves, shoes, a cape, props for costumes, and toys. For the next few years, I had the same response to anyone who asked me what I wanted for my birthday or for Christmas. I told them I wanted the latest Pokémon game and tons of Duck Tape.

Enjoying the Magic of Lake Toba - Natural Enchantment in North Sumatra
Hi, Traveler Friend! Have you heard about Lake Toba? If not, get ready to fall in love with its charm! Lake Toba is one of the truly amazing wonders of nature. It is said that this lake was formed by the violent eruption of Mount Toba around 74,000 years ago. With an area of more than 1,145 square kilometers and a depth of 450 meters, Lake Toba looks more like an ocean than a lake. In the center, there is Samosir Island, which is quite large and interesting to explore.

Pity Party For One
Some people don't know or don't care how much hell you've been through. They don't have the ability to feel compassion or the emotional intelligence to sympathize. That's ok. Everyone is different and that's what makes the world diverse and interesting. However, for those of us who have been to hell and returned with whatever scraps of ourselves are leftover, we don't appreciate those unfeeling souls who lack depth, understanding, and compassion. As an empath and a survivor of hell, I know that I definitely don't like being around those people. It takes a lot of emotional strength to survive some of the tragedies that life dishes out, but it takes even more love to love someone who has survived it.

Why Being the "Good Girl" Can Hold You Back
Why Being the "Good Girl" Can Hold You Back This is me (well, it was me, and perhaps it still is at times)! How about you? The Good Girl. I vividly recall my younger days when my parents frequently urged me to remain the "good girl." I was terrified of speaking up or taking risks, fearing that I wouldn't live up to the "good girl" image. Today, I proudly embrace the courageous and kind person I have become. I am stronger and braver than ever, while still maintaining kindness.

Reflections Of Destiny
August 12th, 2024 (Edited/Finalized on the 14th) Outliers: An Outline Forms The following is a catalog of music which has captured my imagination and willpower, taking hold at stages grand and small throughout my life. It is by all means the closest approximation to fact that I can surmise to muster, and yet is by any comfort a stranger to exhaustion. I have approached it from as delicate of an angle as I can, assured at least that even these tracks are rich in themselves, and necessary to share. Of course, it is my own experiences which have brought me to own them so, and by no means is that guaranteed to mean anything at all to the pursuits of your own filters or subjection.

The Reason Why I Capture Everything on Film (And Why You Should Be Doing It To)
Nobody ever knows what'll happen in our lives. Nobody. Of course, for some, there are psychic mediums who certain people may believe can predict what'll happen... But life is and has always been unpredictable for most, if not all people. Nobody has an idea about who could enter into their life... Or why they were sent to us in the first place. Lessons are made every single day, and we just have to let it flow in and out- like a tide. We don't even have a clue about what people in our lives are meant to be with us forever, or who'll just up and go... without any possible warning. Sometimes, we have to experience things that'll hurt in the moment but teach us something valuable in the long run. Capturing every bit of those precious memories you've made in life, whether it's short or long, through either video capture or a series of pictures, can help your memory of that one specific day... or person... or even animals... never fade.
