The Time I Got Stitches The worst thing that’s happened to me in my life was the time I had to get stitches. It was the summer of 2012. The weather was warm, but the wind was blazing.

Slavery refers to a condition in which individuals are owned by others, who control were they live and what kinds of work they perform. However in Segu, slaves had engage in relationships when they’re told, they basically had no free will. It leaves the slaves impotent and hankering for death, because death to the slave is worth more than their life. Polygamy played a disturbing role on how…

. I have written before but to save those who inquire from going back in all my journals, I share again. I think it needs to be said that often one finds a common misconception about what it means to be a submissive or a slave advocated for on this site. It may seem at first glance that the submissive belongs on her knees..considered as an inferior and one of weakness.. they believe they have no value or worth inherent within themselves..

He had put together a creative and intriguing play, having actors stay spontaneous and interact with the audience, therefore no parts would be found boring nor dry.

In the novel Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill. In the article “Your Genes Don’t Fit: Why 10,000 Hours of Practice Won’t Make You an Expert” the author says that 10,000 hours of practice is not the only thing that it takes to master a skill. I agree with the author who says 10,000 hours of practice is not the only factor to…
