The Dichotomy of Being Yourself
The Dichotomy of Being Yourself All of my life I have been sent this wonderful message of being yourself. I heard this message in TV shows, movies, cartoons from childhood, and from my teachers and my parents. They told me to shoot for the stars, to be true to myself, and all of those lovely sentiments.

7 Ways to Feel More Present
As humans, it’s almost inevitable that we get caught up in the past or future, and forget about the present. We think about things we’ve done, obsess over what we should have done differently and what difference it would have made. On the total opposite spectrum, we’re constantly planning, preparing, and thinking about our future. What can we do to make things better moving forward? How can we best prepare ourselves? It’s a constant struggle pushing you back and forth between the past and the future.

Why Purpose Is Everything
Dear Henry, I remember a few nights ago when I asked you what you thought the meaning of life was and you responded with, “Does there have to be a meaning?” It got me thinking and it inspired me to write this to you. In philosophy, we were supposed to learn about the topic of “The meaning of life,” but ran out of time. I wish that we did have time to learn about this unit, I find this topic interesting because just like a lot of people, I don’t know what the meaning of life is, but I do have a few ideas.

Sickness
Fear is only two of many different ways we perceive it to be. True fear which you acknowledge as danger causes you to freeze, hide, or flee. Then there's irrational fear which is a phobia, but fear could also be a sickness for the people who think very differently than the "normal" way of thinking. Fear can cause damage to a person's brain and impair the memories, so their way of thinking is distorted.

In Dreams
In the dreams of many, one is carried away to a land of enchantment and wonder. Then again, there are many a night where one dreams of misfortune and woe. It is those most trouble some nights when we suddenly wake up and realize that the world has, indeed, changed.

In playing out a role in these types of dreams, one is whisked away to places that may have had an actual influence in the life they have led.

Never Give Up
Everything in life, I feel, is truly meant to happen. And everything always comes full circle. The things we expected to receive from our dreams is never ever what we get in reality and that there is when You're really tested to see where your heart and mind really stand. The older we get, the more we experience, whether it be good or bad, it is still going to happen and that there is when Your character will be tested as well; and see how strong you really are from those experiences.
