    something. Other than reason, is sense perception the first and not teachable thing we learn when we are small. With reason we have to learn it first. So the difference between them is that a reason has to rely on something, so it requires a justification, while sense perception doesn’t need any justification. Reason isn’t always going to explain the thing that go on in sense perception. Like the mysterious, unexplainable things that we hear daily – a blind men is an artist, a deaf person can…

    Perhaps the thing that surprised me most at the end, was how little I missed social media, at least once the first few days were out of the way. I expected to have a large void left by social media, but what I didn’t expect was that it would be so easy to fill this time with more productive activities (at least in my own judgment). I played piano more, I learned some new tricks on my skateboard, and I got better at sketching, but most important of all, I learned that there are many, often better…

    happened in english class during those years so that I could have more content to add to this essay. So I guess I don’t hate writing as much as reading because I can tolerate writing. Sometimes I enjoy writing about things I love, like to do, things about me. Writing isn’t a hard thing to do, especially now that we type more now than we do actually writing. Which, I’m not complaining because typing is easier on my hands. My hands don’t cramp up or lock up like they would if I was writing with a…

She had always been one of my closest friends and practically my sister. Due to being around her constantly, I did experience a lot of grief because of how perfect her life always seemed to be, especially when…
