I Pray the Worst for You
I pray that you will experience poverty and pain, jealousy and anger, sorrow and wrath, heartbreak and disgust. I pray you will experience all of the sorrow and pain you can because without these emotions you can never truly begin to understand their counterpart. Without rain we can never miss the sunshine, likewise without sorrow … Continue reading I Pray the Worst for You
Castle of Sand
The wise man built his house upon the Rock, but a castle made of sand can only take so many waves before it crumbles.Once collapsed, the walls leave you exposed to the elements.Every small wind tries to blow you off the Rock.And every raindrop feels like a hurricane.But the Rock remains steady, never moving and … Continue reading Castle of Sand

It's a conflicting thing because in this world when you show compassion you're automatically seen as someone … Continue reading Me vs. the World
The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture
So a little while ago in AP Lang we talked about an article we had to read on what makes a serial killer. It talked about how genetics effect these people's personalities and mentalities, which, in turn, impacts their outward actions. And it sort of got me thinking about a topic that absolutely fascinates me: … Continue reading The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture
