I was thinking about all the so called friends who’ve walked out on my life. The ones who gave me hope for my future. The ones who made me feel joy. The ones who made me feel like I matter. The ones who made me feel normal and valued. And then ditch me taking all of that away. I’m sick of it. But you know what? I always believed I was the cause. I was a loser. I made them leave. I screwed up again. My life is worthless. My future is dark‚ lonely‚ miserable‚ and will probably end in suicide. I

I wonder what I would do if I could change the world. Would I stop world hunger‚ make world peace‚ or something different altogether? Well…I’d prefer to combine all three. Most people think world peace is a great idea. I agree‚ but I like to take it up a notch. So if I could change the world‚ this is what I would do: Guns will turn into carrots as soon as they are fired. Grenades turn into apples just before the explosion.

“Independence or death!” “I stay.” “I say to the people that I am staying!” (Independence of Brazil) All three of these statements were made by Dom Pedro to the Brazilian masses as he attempted to free them from the incompetent hands of Portugal.

I cannot guarantee that I have an absolute answer‚ for I am still in the process of personal discovery and grasping the concept of personhood that differs at a particular time. What does it really mean to be me‚ especially at this point in time? Am I the same person now as

In complete honesty‚ the ideas outlined in “I used to be a human being” by Andrew Sullivan are not anything that I recognize to be particularly unique or revelatory. Especially as a young adult‚ the idea of social media addiction is something that I have been consciously aware of since the obsessive use of the internet became an augmented reality within my generation. Something that I did find interesting though were the extreme lengths Sullivan needed to go to in order to rid himself of technology

In the essay “I Used to Be a Human Being‚” the narrator is facing something we tend to ignore yet has somehow found a way to captivate billions of people worldwide‚ cell phone addiction. I think Andrew Sullivan’s idea of being “alone together” (Sullivan 103) is an interesting term that reflects the way communication and human interaction occur in today’s society. We are so entranced by a small device that we have turned ourselves in obsessive‚ lifeless robots that morph our lives around our Facebook

The phrase "you only live once" is commonly attributed to Mae West‚[1][2] but variations of the phrase have been in use for over 100 years‚[3] including as far back as (the German equivalent of) "one lives but once in the world" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his 1774 play Clavigo[4] and as the title of a waltz‚ "Man lebt nur einmal!"
