Thirty Day Challenge: Confidence
Confidence is lovely, I should get some. Again, broad topic, so I’ll just be vain and talk about myself.  Physical: I’m pretty content with the way I look; I’m nothing too great, average body, average face. I have my days where I look reaaally good, days where my hair and make up decide to coordinate, or I wear something that works with my body. And I have days where nothing...

onlinejournals: I want to shower sweet, rosewater words into your ears, onto your head, amidst your hair. I want to say all the loving, warm things that bubble into my throat and fingers but I wonder if you’d like to hear them. Or, not simply if you’d like to hear them, but how often you’d like to hear them. Too much sugar makes for bad teeth. Moreover, I wonder how much I’d like to say these...

Temporary friends
jon-quiqui: When we take a step back from your laughter and smiles with your friends of high school, a somberness begins to set in once we realize how temporary all of this really is. We most likely won’t be hugging these people as we once did when we’re older. We most likely won’t be talking to these people either. It makes us question why even bother putting in so much effort into...

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
As I was reading this, I thought, the writing style is a lot like Look at the Birdie’s, and then I remembered, uh.. hello, same author? Generally, my favorite books are those with overflowing emotion and figurative language; some of favorite books and authors, however, are the cynics. And this man is definitely at the top of my list. Kurt Vonnegut received his Master’s degree...

“I no longer needed a reason for my existence, just a reason to live. And...”
– Ricky Gervais I find it incredibly interesting how existentialism is always viewed with a negative eye. Of course, I can see how it would be initially: kind of shattering to realize there’s no point to your life. But after the initial set back, it’s basically telling you go find your...

Does God Exist? Ricky Gervais Takes Your Questions →
lrn2liberty: “Editor’s Note: Earlier this week, in an essay that drew a deluge of comments, British comic, actor and filmmaker Ricky Gervais argued against the existence of God. To give Wall Street Journal readers a chance to respond, we asked Gervais to answer via email some of the most frequently asked questions about his article.” The end of this article is wonderful, and tear jerking.  ...

Thirty Day Challenge: Love
EDIT: This is a lot longer than I intended it to be… you all can just scroll over itt. lol  Alright, I’m not the first person trying to define love, and I’m not vain enough to think my definition is right. However, this is what I believe as of right now and until someone convinces me otherwise, this is what I will continue to believe. Another point of ambiguity: what kind of love am...
