Forget about doing the right thing
Once, this really studious girl, top of her class, 'hall monitor' sorts named Lucy, found an eraser when she was carrying out one of her many student duties. It was the coveted kind - strawberry-shaped, barely used, smelt absolutely delightful. Like crushed berry juice with a hint of lime.

If you like what you read or if you don't, you can send a comment to [email protected]. I look foward to comments. I am still trying to raise enough money for medical so please share so I can get more people to read this. I don' t have a big family and I do not have a following. So every share will get me closer to being able to take care of my health condition. Thanks

Uselessness is useful
"What for?" I believe this short and simple question is the best way to define our modern era. We are so much used to think in terms of "what for" that we do not even realize which are the implications and the consequences.

Announcer Voice: The Contentious Accent of the Airwaves
When putting one’s voice out into the public ear, one needs to consider how to project their voice to properly convey the subject matter at hand, for listeners are quick to judge not only what one says but how they say it. Knowing this, broadcasters of radio and other voice related media outlets have developed a specific accent commonly known as “announcer voice” since the medium’s inception that presents the cordialness and confidence a general audience desires. However, points of contention have been raised against having a specific voice set to govern broadcasting media as a whole, challenging the idea that one supposedly needs to adhere to this accent in order to see success in the field. In reality, the accent of the airwaves has always been adaptive and continues to evolve in conjunction with the medium itself to better accommodate a wide range of audiences.

Smile, Though Your Heart is Aching
Sometimes the broken parts of you are invisible. They still need attention, and you are not weak for seeking the help you need. (So say I.)

Removing the poison from your life
Personal development is a life-long commitment. We all strive to be happier, healthier, and more positive. Our journeys may hit potholes and detours along the way, but we all have the same goal in mind: being the best version of ourselves.

The Problem with Calling Something a Problem
Einstein once said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” I’m inclined to agree. If we kept the same thinking we would probably compound our problem. The best we could hope for would be for it to stay exactly as it is.

Why do “Starting afresh” should be about a big move?
Starting afresh, what an excellent concept. I used to idealise the very idea of packing my belongings and flying away to start anew. It would always be somewhere where I knew no one, and no one knew me. And If I am being frank with you, I would always fly to New York in my fantasy. Because as a European, I have been fed with another concept: New York is where all the dreams come true. So, I will admit it, when writing this article, sitting down at my desk, in my bedroom, the same one I have slept in since my childhood, I dream of New York. I dream of feeling this starting afresh feeling.

The Trouble with Triggers
It started off simply enough; my boyfriend wanted to watch some shows together. Admittedly, I did not. Both of us are hermit-like, and very happy to each do our own thing in our own areas of the house, so when one of us wants to do something together, we both try to meet that need as best we can. Sometimes, though, it just doesn't happen. I considered telling him "not tonight" again, but he'd just ask nearly every day until we did, causing me both irritation and guilt. It's always a hurdle to get me into watching a show, complete with eye-rolling, a look of disdain, and possibly a low groan of annoyance.
