Tuesdays with Morrie Review: Lessons When Death Awaits
I read Tuesdays with Morrie as a 14-year-old. I reread it when I was 16. Then once again, now, when I am 21. This is a book that has stayed with me – I have underlined paragraphs that have settled in my heart, I have done the crime of folding the pages that were too good to be read only once, and I have left a sob mark on the pages that have left me in tears.

Dear Martha,
Dear Martha, I am well underway in my second week working through Martha Stewart’s Organizing, and I have some feelings. There were a number of tasks this week that involved spending money. I just couldn't swing that at this juncture. I did take to heart many of your other suggestions and I begrudgingly report that my life feels somewhat enriched. Outside of your out of touch suggestions that only wealthy people need to enjoy their piles of money, your organization tips are proving to be very beneficial.

The Night Owl
The Night Owl It was a beautiful night, when the blue light of the moon lingered on. The beautiful queen, the one poor lady with slim figure, and long beautiful black hair, never knew that she was meaningful. She always underestimated herself, but now...just now, she was wondering…

"Unfu*k yourself"
Life is about moments, brief and tiny moments that can fill our souls with peace or war. Can you imagine a world where you have no way to fight your emotions? A world where you have no control and are nothing but a victim of the circumstances. A world with no way out, where we are just roaming on a deep sea of feelings, memories, and past. It doesn't sound very comforting. Just the thought of you not controlling where you're going is enough to give you the chills. Imagine not being able to control what you think, how it affects you, or what you do about it. Does it sound hard?

Books That Can Change Lives
I just ordered them to increase my English skills for my blog writing, but these books, in a true sense, are “magical.” I bought them with no intentions to change my life, but they are. I started doing things for my financial and personal growth, and it's mystical.

Worshiping Wrath
God, religion, faith, tradition, these are some things that everyone is brought up with. They are that aspect of a person’s heritage that defines their beliefs and actions. It is perfectly normal and unquestionable if one adheres to a God of peace and good instruction, however, what if the God one worships is that of something less spiritual? In, “A Father” by Bharati Mukherjee there are two such things that Mr. Bhowmick institutes in his life which also serve as major themes in the story. These themes are wrath and dissatisfaction.

Best Reads of 2020
I can confidently say that 2020 certainly did not go the way any of us expected it to go. As this turbulent year finally comes to end, it is important to look back on one of the positives that came out of everything that happened over the last twelve months. One of the biggest things that I’m grateful for is the amount of time that I was able to dedicate to reading. Although 2020 wasn’t perfect (not even close to perfect, if I’m being honest), I was able to find my enjoyment in reading again. I read more than 30 books this year, and I want to take some time to give you my Best Reads of 2020.

Beware The Double-edged Sword of Literacy
When I grew up, everyone in my family was an avid reader, so I believed in the power of the written word. In our house, if you had a problem that you didn’t know how to solve, you went to the library and found the solution in a book. That’s probably why I’m so fond of self-help books.
