Most experiences curb our lives and how we see life. It sharpens our mind and gives our thoughts perceptions of its own. Then we begin to measure the kind of life we’ve led with the amounts of experiences we have been able to gather. Since we learn from experiences either ours or that of others, we tend to train ourselves in such a way that we don’t have to relieve those experiences again. Thereby, determining the kind of life we choose to live. As easy as it is to say, learning and paying attention to experiences is not an easy fit for all. Some individuals don’t see reasons to pay attention nor bother to learn from experiences. They don’t seem to care and this makes them fall victim of a continuous lifestyle or go through their mistakes again. When we don’t see the need to learn or pay attention to experiences, we tend t...

  Is apology ever enough? Does it really change things? Does it soothe the soul? Does it make the heart lighter?     THOUGHTS ON APOLOGY Apology is usually used to appease an offended heart. It could be in form of actions or words. ‘I am sorry’ is the phrase mostly used to apologize after committing an offense.

Life is a beautiful thing gifted to us by the Creator. An endless pursuit of heart desires. ‘Thing’ might not expressly define life; a better word could be, let’s say, "gift." After all, we didn’t create life ourselves, and according to the first sentence of this paragraph, it is the precious work of the creator endowed to all individuals. Living goes hand in hand with life, as living is the testament that the individual has decided to cherish and make use of the gift he has gotten from the creator. Living comes with a lot of baggage, either positively or negatively. We can establish the fact that choosing to live is a decision every living individual has made. There are lots of sayings that emanate from life and living. We all have different perspectives on these subjects, and while some can be agreeable, others might be arguable. So I will be writing my thoughts on life.   To me, life is a wonder; to be alive is a blessing; and living is beautiful, as every breath I ta...
