Staying Healthy: 12 Easy Tips to Do So in Today's World
Health, they say, is wealth. The cynic in me used to think this was just a cliche to make people eat their vegetables and stick to the ‘FitFam’ path. But wait until your health takes a nosedive and everything else looks so bleak. Our health is perhaps the most important thing in our lives.

Project: Seed Zero
Every morning, they would receive their delivery at exactly 8:15am. John would scan the code with his arm. This would cause the screen to turn on for home class time. You heard that classic hum, and the insignia would show itself. Then, for 1 hour, we had to speak with the television. It would ask questions, teach lessons and evaluate if we learned. Every time you interacted with this thinking-picture, you just knew that it was somehow taking a part of your soul; capturing every detail about you. Facial recognition, voice pitch, body language, past behaviour vs. current behaviour, moods, known relations, interests. Finally, once it was over - the box opened.

The difference between a man, and a boy!
Ladies, we are just sometimes fooled by spoken words. However, sometimes we are just too blind to see it. We are fooled by those sweet warming messages and talks. From the “baby you are just perfect,” to the “you are so beautiful, I can’t wait to see you.” Are they sweet warming messages, or a trick to believing what his intentions with you really are? We are so gullible at times, that it gets hard to believe them until we actually get hurt. They say all these sweet things, then boom one minute want in our pants. We are just so mind blown and blinded by the truth. Ladies, we must be more open about this, we must really start thinking into this more. We must take the time to break down the steps into the truth. One thing, we must do is stop sleeping with them on the first date! Make the man work for it! Stop giving it up, to people that do not deserve you at all! The second thing is stop chasing him! Let him chase you if he wants you and make him work for it! Stop calling him several times, and stop being the first one too always text him. Most importantly do not respond right away too his texts. If he has not texted you for a day or 2 but is active on social media, delete him and stop fishing. Girl cut him off! When we fish, we go crazy, and we tend to get paranoid. Stop doing this! You are only hurting yourself. When we also fish, we may find things we do not want to see, or we may over think. When we overthink, we tend to sometimes accuse the other person, when there may not even be anything going on. This will push them away and will make it seem like you are crazy or do not have trust. A grown man will advise of this, and they will let you know that they do not want to be with someone like that. Honestly, I would not want to be with someone like that, because I could not be with someone who scoops or who does not trust me. Without trust, you cannot have a relationship. You might as well flush that right down the toilet and go focus on you for a while. Should I dig deeper into the truth? I think I should because some of you need to hear it. You get so caught up in these lies, and you only loose the respect you have for you. You show others that your value and the way that you are treated does not matter to you. This will make it seem like you do not care about yourself. Take time to see if he is a grown man or a boy. A grown man will put time into you, will spoil you, will take care of you, will put you first, will respect you, will give you the attention that you deserve, will not lie to you, will be honest, will remove those old women from his life, and so much more. A boy will not care. A boy will treat you like trash, use you, take advantage of you, will say negative things about you behind your back, or just want what is in your pants. A grown man will find a way to make you his regardless, but a boy will not. Little clues will show. You must open your eyes and see. If he is only responding when it is convenient for him but has time for everyone else, then it is time to cut him off. He is using you. If he is asking you to hangout late at night, then he typically wants a piece of a**! Stop ignoring the signs and start looking more into it. Show yourself some respect and find you a man that cares!

Could You Be Sober Curious?
The bar trade was one I grew up within from the impressionable age of 10. Watching adults drink foul smelling liquids until they could no longer walk unaided, speak without slurring words and chain smoking cigarettes until they were sick or passed out were familiar and confusing sights to me.
