To live on valued energy is to love one another and denounce the state of vanity. Virtual reality, confining our personalities. Chasing likes and comments over the heart and soul of humanity. Desiring one another’s downfall, like Tom and Jerry. A few of us as smart as bugs bunny. But all of us hiding a secret hunter like mentality. Living oblivious and losing sanity, what has become of humanity. There’s no loving without losing, they say. But how does one live so fruitful anyway. My brother, my sister we say, but enemies they are at the end of the day. An eye for an eye, transactions upon transactions we make. Never humble enough to give and not take. How do we overlook what is at stake, and give to one another even though we may break. To build a bridge is more valuable than what is at stake. How do we repair humanity and the goals it creates. Forsaken has become humanity, how do we save it’s sanity.

Kaur
As a Sikh woman, it is the act of giving selflessly that keeps my soul full. As a Sikh woman, I have been taught to give rather than receive. I share what I have and consume it together with my community. Where others have become victims of ethnocentric behaviours, my culture taught me how to make selfless giving my immediate friend. I am a product of ancestral struggles. My parents are from two different lands, and I am the bridge between them. The visions they have for me, it is my job to breathe into existence. The language they have taught me has provided me with more job opportunities. The stories they have shared with me, have softened my mentality. The very name I have been given, Kaur, unifies me with every other sister of colour around me. My culture dignifies me, it provides me with the endless opportunity to prosper in a world lacking authenticity. As an American, there is a struggle to feel free. But as a Sikh, I set fires just by being. It is being abundant in culture that give life more meaning.

Cabin Fever Because of Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain That Turned to Icy Roads
What Is Cabin Fever? The short answer is that cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area. Cabin fever is the distressing irritability or restlessness experienced when a person or group is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time. Research shows that prolonged cold, gray skies, and being stuck indoors can trigger mood shifts similar to “winter blues.”
