Why Do We Feel Fear?

The greatest shackles we wear in life are those forged by our own fear. Fear is a survival mechanism we use to prevent ourselves from getting hurt or risking ridicule as a result of failure.

We must not try to find escape so we can hide from painbecause ultimately, in the end, it will be more painful. Some methods of escape that are used are; narcotics, alcohol, or behavioral attitudes such as;…

Poem for a Writer

May you always remember the thrill of being swept away by a good book, May the words you’re typing on the page be as worthy as the words running through your mind, May your deadlines be behind you, May a good story lie ahead of you, And as you go forth… May you always enjoy the journey to finding those perfect words!

Why Do We Suffer?

Why do we suffer? It is within our suffering that we face challenges and difficulties which in essence, give us our lessons and strengths. The greatest learning does come from our adversities. Adversity is not a detour; it is part of the path. Thinking of struggles in this way allows us to embrace this difficult road which we must walk; it may, in fact, be our only path to success. Therefore we…

Was This Giant Stone Sphere Crafted by an Advanced Civilization of the Past or the Forces of Nature?

The Bosnian Indiana Jones has come into contact with a giant stone sphere. Like the famous movie counterpart, this large object is also bringing excitement along with it. The stone sphere discovered in mid-March, 2016 in Bosnia may be the largest of its kind in the world, however there is much debate if the feature is man-made or natural. The stone ball was discovered in a forest in Podubravlje and has a radius of between 1.2 – 1.5 meters (3.9-4.9 ft.) Preliminary tests suggest that it could weigh over 30 tons, making it the most massive stone sphere in Europe.

14.10.16 --> snapshot of the past couple weeks. On the left, I'm reading "Dracula" during my 6am train ride to Toronto on the way to Uni. Only on chapter 2 I think & It's actually really good so far!! BUT I don't have much time to read for fun bc my major requires TONS of reading. Oh whale, what can I do? 💁🏻 As for my essay, I finished it last night! Reading week is coming to a close and I've completed everything I had set out to accomplish! 👌🏼 As for this weekend, I'm dedicating it to studying for my history midterm 😌 Hope you're all having a lovely week!

Well hello there studyblrs! It’s been months since I’ve posted anything; I was incredibly busy this spring/summer between transferring Unis, my full time job & family commitments. I’m sorry you guys 🙈BUT now I’m here to stay!

Btw I’m up so early bc this semester I have some 8am classes & it takes me a couple hours to commute to Uni. Getting used to it tho so that’s good 👌🏼

These are just some literature mind maps I made yesterday whilst studying in my Uni library. We have 10 floors! It’s super nice and there’s so much study space 🤓

I hope you all have an awesome weekend! ☺️💜
