Pt. I Happiness is experiencing love. It doesn’t matter what kind of love it is, whether it is loving yourself, loving someone else, or having someone else love you. When we experience love, we experience happiness. There is a study in the world where people in Finland, Sweden, and Taiwan mapped where they felt their feelings. The intensity of sensation, or lack thereof, created a “body atlas” for the emotions. A depressed person lacked sensations all over the body, an angry person had…

This little accident better produce a traumatic brain injury. ~ Wobbling up the driveway, she met Pete working on his rubber band ball. “Hey, what’s wrong, Millie?” Rubbing her head, “I don’t know. I think I crashed your bike.” “Get off right now!” He made a careful inspection, “I don’t see any scratches. Hey, what happened to your face?” Thunder rumbled in the distance as Millie tried to see the back door through her blurry eyes. She tripped over the threshold and stumbled into the kitchen.…

Living in the 21th century, things have definitely changed since the millennials and the technology era comes in place. Easy access to information, communication, entertainment, and even ‘easy ways’ to get rich are so all over the place. Our era has become an era where everything needs to either be fast or easy. Let’s just say Starbucks. Back in the days, we used to brew and make our own coffee, but not anymore. Now, everyone goes to Starbucks in the morning to get their morning coffee.…

As I sat on the metal folding chair, thinking at any moment the wobbly legs would sink into the earth and drop me on the grass, which of course didn’t happen. While listening to the birds in the nearby trees singing with joy and happiness, it was as if they knew why we were there. The bronze casket glistened in the sun as the pallbearers placed it on the frame over the open grave. Numbness engulfed me the moment, I learned of my husband’s death. A week later, I knew I needed to keep up the…

In the world that we live in, there is often upsets in our lives and in the lives around us. Being that we are all a part of one society, everything that happens to one society happens to every other society as well. In the article, " The Earth is Cruel", by Leonard Pitts, he goes on to discuss all of the horrible things that occur in Haiti, and how they are still able to stand back up on their feet and move forward with their lives. In this article, I believe that there is one central theme…

Steven Furtick stated during his sermon ‘My Confidence Is Coming Back’ that “The devil cannot take your calling. The bible says that the gifts and the calling are without repentance. He does not change His mind when you lose your way. So since the devil can’t take your calling, he attacks your confidence. Because if he can get you to give him your confidence, he can keep you from functioning in your calling. If he can get you to believe that you are raising you kids just like your mom raised you…

This was horrible. A class about monster tracking...great. I pull up on my black silk gloves they were a part of my uniform, along with a black and red plaid skirt, black saddle shoes, white knee high socks, and a white sweater. I hated it, but I had no choice, nobody can know how different I am. “Right class, what do you do when you see a monster,” asked Mrs. Shard in an annoying high-pitched voice that made my ears bleed. I wanted to flinch, but I couldn't for no one heard what I did.…

It's been a couple of hours, and I was still in the living room watching SpongeBob, but I wasn't really paying much attention. I was rethinking my decision on trusting Vanoss. I mean sure! He seems like a nice guy, but I learned that things aren't always what they seemed. I sighed, and got up from the couch to turn off the television, wondering if my friends are having the same problems. I sat back down on the couch, listening to the silence of the quiet living room. My mind begin to wonder how…
