The Beauty and Justice of Geese Photography “The geese are coming! The geese are coming!” I shout as they fly across the blue sky of Regent’s park. The beautiful and majestic creatures swarm the lake where the park visitors feed them. In my periphery vision, I observe other swarms of ducks, pigeons, and other various birds that are also fed on the man-made concrete bank of the lake. Still, the geese remain my focus. Watching them captivates me and brings me out of myself. I am giddy with…

A Beautiful View, a Dangerous Edge “There are some places along the rim without railings…” “A bunch of tourists die here every year while taking selfies, be careful!” “Don’t walk and look at the same time: watch where you place your feet…” The warnings from our train conductor, bus driver, and tour guide hovered at the forefront of my mind as we approached our first view of the Grand Canyon.

there will be nothing else that you want from life. You finally get it. Game over. Thrill is gone. Go for greener pastures. Be it the new phone/new bike/ a car you've been wanting it for ages. You wait eagerly. You strive hard to realize it. It’s here. 1st day - love it. 2nd - like it. 3rd - enjoy it. 4th - bored of it. Saturation comes everywhere. I got this forward from a friend who makes so much sense “The irony of life is. The more you center your life around a person the more unattractive…

you have overcome. Life will only overtake you if you allow it to – trust me. At the age of 15, I nearly got stabbed, and on that day I thought I was going to lose my life.

However, through having faith and hope that I would overcome it, I did! And now that I have overcome it, I’ve been able to inspire others to overcome their own issues. Life certainly isn’t…
