The Exhaustion Took Over My Body with The Speed of a Fast Race Car
I couldn’t get up. I woke up, the sun pouring into our wall of windows, but my body wouldn’t move, and my brain was stuck in neutral. As I stared up at the ceiling, the minutes turned into hours.

Why are We Still Romantasizing Normal?
The trouble with normal You hear it too, right? The sweet, sweet sound of normal calling us? Or, if you don’t hear it, can you feel it? The pull to shore up the societal guardrails, hide the mess, and pretend we’re done with the work we needed to do? Brush the dust from our hands and return to our previously scheduled programming?

"City" minds and climate change.
Ban city minds from governing all of us. Enforcing change to rural ways to satisfy urban idealism. Random Observation-Opinion with out verifiable data--- people with “city” minds (not necessarily location of birth) do not make good travellers, because a good traveller leaves no footprint and city minds are so insecure they have to make sure everyone knows they exist and so they have to leave markers to show they have been there.

Please Don't Tame Your Wildness
I wish it hadn’t happened to you. When we were teens, the party followed wherever you went. You cared not for convention, you followed no trends. Instead, you set the trends. You defied the norms.

Is Your Body Getting Sick On Purpose?
Lately, I’ve been under a lot of stress. In less than three months I’ve managed to relocate back home; build three nationwide marketing campaigns in different locations across Europe; lose my beloved dog and attend court because of ridiculous reasons.

Beth
Adrian was waiting for his big break. He felt he was finally going to hit it big. On one screen, he was entering the latest Vocal challenge. On the other, the in-box of his most used e-mail address. The HEB Zero Original Cola can sat just to the left of his keyboard, the microphone to be used tonight during ESO's war night sat off to the right.

Fierce
Someone once told me that an old Turkish curse was to wish someone “interesting times.“ Someone also penned, and I forget who, that the world is robust but we are not. That we do not need to save the planet for she will survive in whatever form she does, that it’s us who need saving because we, as a species, will not.

I Have Covid: Day One
Well, it has finally got me. I thought I had lasted longer than my luck should have held out. But in all honestly, I hardly ever left the house until recently unless absolutely necessary. Then tonight, when I went to pick my husband up from the train station, I began to feel rotten. Sore, achy bones and muscles. Shivers and inability to get warm; Not to mention the dry, achy eyes and lips. I came home and told hubby I would lay down that it had been a long day.

I Had A Heart Attack - Part 2
I spent all of today as a patient at one of the cardiac hospitals in Vancouver. As anyone who has spent time in the diagnostic part of a hospital knows, it is "hurry up and wait." Note: If you want to read Part 1 first, click here.

Advantages of COVID-19 for the future.
My view When I look at the whole world as it was some months ago and in the present, I see a promising future where hopes shall be restored, fears disappear, social and public life curbed, businesses well managed, international relations well supervised, world health secured and good home discipline not left out of the great transformation that probably will sprout out of the situation we are living now. With great combat on COVID-19 presently, the future seems promising. Surely these advantages will come to realize if we continue to cooperate in the fight against COVID-19. Up till now, everyone is so conscious and so vigilant of every bit of thing happening around them; however, some people are still to realize the necessity of continuous combat on this virus. So, in seven ways, I have examined this beautiful dream.

5 Reasons Getting A Breakthrough Case SUCKS
Like a lot of people in education, I’m used to being around germs. It’s literally my job to gather several dozen grubby teenagers in a small room, shut the door, and encourage everyone to get close to each other and open their mouths.

The Affect of Ageism on Society
The main topic of this paper is ageism and the affect it has on individuals in society. According to the World Health Organization, ageism “ refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age” (World Health Organization. (n.d.). Ageing: Ageism) The problems that come with ageism are noticeable early in life: "By the age of four years old, people “become aware of their culture’s age stereotypes.” (World Health Organization. (n.d.). Ageing: Ageism) This data, points to just how important it is to study ageism. If even a kindergarten-age child recognizes the evidence of the oppression that can be caused to people in different age groups, that signifies just how pertinent the issue is to all societal groups.
