Is Youtuber Zulie Rane Misleading Amateur Writers?
When I lost my full-time job in 2020, I explored the possibility of taking on writing jobs. Initially, I thought I had found a job as a writer for a mobile game app, the kind that places you in romantic, choose-your-own adventure scenarios. I sent in my writing sample, signed the contract, and was ready to go.

8 Surefire Signs He Truly Loves You
We can clearly understand their actions, but they are frequently so subtle that we are easily misled. When it comes to love, humans are extremely sensitive and experience a wide range of positive emotions. However, it is difficult to know if the person next to us truly loves us if we do not know how he feels.

FISH ON
It was a calm, clear, warm, and sunny Saturday in May of 2020. We decided to go fishing. My husband and I are avid anglers and look forward to being on the water as often as possible. While I have other commitments that prevent me going as often as I’d like, he has many friends that are as eager as he is.

What Is Life
I am a pretty straight shooter, no offence taken. My favourite line of defence is ignorance. Most people don't look for a way to solve things. They have some sort of solution they're looking for even when none exists. People are lazy and ignorant when all the time there's an answer they just need. If someone thinks they've found a solution or have come up with one themselves then you either know what it is that's being asked of people, or not (probably both).

Andaman Guitar Island-The rarest island beach has a unique shape of a guitar
Andaman's hidden gem Guitar is one of the rarest beaches on the island with a uniquely shaped guitar. The popularity of this island is mainly due to its striking shape, which is not found anywhere else in the world. Guitar Island Beach is one of the most visited island beaches among the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Oddly enough, this exotic island is hidden from the usual tourist routes and is among the least visited islands.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
They came from far and wide. Many walking, many sharing cars, others just finding a way forward. Mothers, sons, daughters, fathers, grandparents all. The outrage, the witnessed horror, the wounding and excruciating pain to the national soul on display. They marched to a place to mourn for their nation, to mourn for the fallen, they marched to Marrion Square Dublin. They were not alone, the outrage and anger everywhere: Cork, Galway, Sligo, Dundalk, Letterkenny, and over forty cities and towns large and small. The Irish soul was wounded that day, the love of a nation, the love of the fallen would be heard through an outpouring of love, anger, and patriotism.

William's Hoot Loop
William’s owls all turned to look at him at once. Gretchna, the youngest, and smallest one, dropped her dinner in her effort to put him back in her field of vision. The half-eaten sandwich vaporized as it hit the stone from the heat radiating off the floor in the center of the room. For 43 hours now they had all been waiting, stuffed in the cold and cramped room for this exact moment. Now that it was here, they were not about to miss it and have to wait another 25 years.

6 ways to rest in 2022
6 ways to rest in 2022 Many of us haven’t had the time to ourselves during 2021 including myself. I’m constantly working long hours on my feet and using my brain. Working longer hours than usual taking up more work than I should all because of companies being understaffed after quarantine. At the end of the day I am overwhelmed. Honestly, my work got me overworking to the point that I couldn’t rest in peace when I tried to sleep. I am afraid to oversleep, when I meditate I feel like I should be working. The point is I was not allowing myself to rest properly no matter if it was my day off and feeling constantly tired. This is not something I want to take to 2022 with me. So, I decided to make a new years resolution targeting my rest and ways I could rest during weekdays and on my days off. The 2022 is a year that I will be prioritizing my selfcare whether it is physical rest, emotional rest, spiritual rest, creative rest, mental rest, social rest or just to make myself feel good like massages. Therefore, I have done my research and picked 7 ways that I can rest during 2022. Although this is researched I personalize it to myself, now I know it will not resonate with everyone however, there are things that can work for just me, so I am sharing my 7 ways to rest in 2022.

New Year, New Priorities!
What can I say about the last two years that no one already knows? 2020 was a mess that we’re still dealing with while 2021 was a blur of disappointment, so, how should one treat this New Year? Should we press on with a negative or bleak outlook? Or should we have an open mind and try for a fresh start?

3:42 am Still Haunts Me
The Barn Owl? No, no, no, the Barred Owl. I can't tell you how many times I researched both, have listened to both calls to tell which one I had heard that night and had almost cried at the sound. And when I had found the YouTube video with the exact call that I had heard, I had never felt chills so violent or had cringed so hard at just the sound; as stupid as it may seem.
