The increased focus on monasticism, due to Italy…

barbarians. “The most straightforward theory for Western Rome’s collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire’s borders” (Andrews). In the end, the powerful Roman empire that had led the world in discovery had fallen to the uncultivated soldiers that it had been defending against since its beginning. No matter how…

If my friends bothered to notice how different I looked, they didn’t say anything about it. I only wore giant, comfortable sweaters, I had large bags under my eyes, and I had stopped wearing makeup after that first week.
