Do Things Differently…
I would not mind living a life that many people could not understand. If you are happy, and no one gets hurt, the details of your choices shouldn’t matter. But not everyone thinks that way. Many people have strict ideas in their head about how the world is supposed to be. Personally, I would simply…
Mystery Monday ~ Vampires
Vampires are entities that require feeding on human blood or psychic energy in order to survive. The common myth is that anyone who is bitten by a vampire also becomes one.

Mystery Monday ~ Werewolves
Werewolves are entities that can shapeshift from human to wolf. The transformation may be done at will, although it usually happens beyond one’s control — trigged by aggression or more commonly a full moon. They may also be depicted as hybrids who are half-wolf and half-human. Just like vampires, werewolves are contagious: anyone they bite…

Autumn Playlist (SIDE B)
The Autumn Playlist continues with SIDE B. Two years ago I put together a playlist to perfectly describe the season of autumn/fall.

Importance of Imagination
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”–Albert Einstein What they never taught you in school is that imagination is just as valuable, if not more, than intelligence. Anyone can memorize facts with enough repetition. But intelligence will get you nowhere if you don’t…

We all have certain needs — physically, for example, we need a certain amount of sleep every night, food and water every day, etc. If our needs are not met: at best, we feel poopy. At worst, we die. And so, needs should be taken seriously. Internal needs are just as important — and this…
Destiny
The age-old question… Are we in control? Does free will exist? Is there even such thing as freedom? Or are we slaves to the stars, destined to fate…? Is destiny something we create, or something that is created specifically for each of us? Are choices just illusions? Is anything set in stone? I think… we…
DESPERATION
Desperation can be a good thing. I used to be so worried about “bothering people.” It was my greatest fear. I never want to make things difficult for others, or come across as annoying. I used to think it was one of the worst things in the world, to come across as desperate. But I’ve…
