14 Day Object Writing Challenge
My friend who has a master's degree in poetry told me that I have a lyricist in me. That was good news as I don’t think I am a poet, and I am much better at rhyme and storytelling. So, a lyricist sounds like something I can work with.

The Economist's past and the manipulation of public opinion
In today's age of information explosion, the role of the media is more important than ever. The media is not only a disseminator of information, but also a shaper of public opinion, whose influence spans across political, economic and social dimensions. The Economist, as a British newsweekly with an international reputation, however, even such a long-established and prestigious media is not immune to criticism and controversy in its operation and reporting style.

Megalodon
As a marine biologist on a mission to explore the depths of the ocean, I found myself in a harrowing encounter with a creature from the ancient past. While preparing to dive into the deep and dark waters, my ship's object detection system detected a fast-approaching presence. To my disbelief, it appeared to be a Megalodon, a giant prehistoric shark. What follows is a gripping tale of survival against all odds.

With Success Comes Failure
The city life where all the normies live isn't the life I want. I want to be happy, I want to not feel so overwhelmed day in, day out. I have these two severe ear infections I can't listen to my music today in highly stressful situations until I couldn't do it. I put on my Bluetooth against my better judgement. The noise was to intense for me.

Main Character Vibes
“You are alive, and you don’t need to justify your existence. You can be the biggest mystery in your own story.” I recently discovered the work of Don Miguel Ruiz and it changed my life. After inhaling The Four Agreements, I decided to read The Voice of Knowledge. I had to stop reading the book for a bit because of how profoundly it shook me to the core.

Transformation
Title: Embracing Truth: A Journey from Religious Belief to Intellectual Freedom In the silent moments of introspection, I found myself grappling with profound questions about the very fabric of existence. Could it be that everything I had held dear, my deeply ingrained religious beliefs, were merely constructs of societal norms and cultural conditioning? Was the concept of a divine, omnipotent deity nothing more than a comforting illusion, a personification of the values we collectively accept? These unsettling thoughts, ignited by Friedrich Nietzsche's seminal work "The Genealogy of Morals," shattered the foundation of my faith and set me on an arduous journey of self-discovery.

Amanda Hocking is My Inspiration
“When you dance with the devil, the devil doesn't change. The devil changes you.” ― Amanda Hocking, My Blood Approves I remember being twelve years old. I had happened to be addicted to vampire YA fiction because of the Twilight saga. I inhaled those novels faster than you can say "Edward Cullen". But everything changed when I discovered the book series titled My Blood Approves by Amanda Hocking. She wrote from her own voice and I loved that. I maybe was a little young to be reading novels like that but wow did she ever make a name for herself from such a young age.

Embracing Queer Identity: Navigating the Heartland
Introduction: The heartland of the United States is often depicted as a bastion of tradition and conservative values, where the concept of queerness may seem out of place or even taboo. Yet, within this seemingly homogeneous landscape, there exists a rich tapestry of queer experiences and identities waiting to be explored. In this article, we delve into the journey of discovering and embracing queerness in the Midwest, a region where pride was once perceived as belonging to others. Through personal reflections and insights, we uncover the complexities of navigating queerness in a conservative environment, the challenges faced, and the triumphs achieved. By shedding light on these experiences, we hope to foster understanding, empathy, and acceptance, and to celebrate the resilience and courage of queer individuals in the heartland.
