For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Stand up and Let Your Voice Be Heard
I'm a Vietnamese college student (now), who experienced bullying. It began in freshman year of middle school. There was a group of boys and girls who happened to be in three of my classes. First, the bullying started with a girl. She'd made fun of my outfits, looks, color, and race. At first I didn't know how to handle this situation because I thought to myself "Why would anyone treat another like this?" I didn't know how to approach her in a way that wouldn't cause any more trouble, so I kept pretending nothing happened. A few weeks went along, I noticed that other students who were friends with her started teasing me. No they didn't harm be physically, but they hurt me mentally. I had my feelings destroyed. I didn't know what to do at the point because the situation gotten worse. I was too afraid to tell my parents or the counselor. So all I did was ignoring the fact these bullies where destroying me and making my opportunity to graduate middle school. During the same year, there was another group full of girls. Yes, they teased me. One day I was on Facebook, and I commented on a girl's photo because they weren't being polite. Soon after, I was cyberbullied by her because I was saying it wasn't okay to be disrespectful and that she should be grateful for what she has in life. Little did I know, she attended my middle school and became friends with the bully from sixth grade. This continued into seventh grade.

Feeding the Homeless 1/25/2019
Yesterday was an awesome day because we made up bag lunches and hygiene kits to hand out to the homeless. We were going to hand them out locally but could not find but two individuals and I know that Dalton has lots of homeless people we just couldn't find them and we drove around checking all the spots for about an hour.

What Would This World Be like If Farting Was Acceptable?
What an odd subject to talk about. Farting is and has been deemed unacceptable for pretty much ever. It's such a simple thing and everyone in this world does it. Yet, we never really notice people openly fart much in society. This notion is so absurd that it's deemed comedy when it happens. People will go ballistic when someone actually performs the act in front of them. Of course, close family and friends are usually the only exceptions to this, but even they'll have a good chuckle when it happens and no one likes to be made fun of.

Practicality Is Ruining Society
Our world is becoming more efficient everyday. For the most part, this is actually a great thing. We all enjoy way more free time than previous generations. Society today has a fixation on practicality and loses sight of what we lose due to efficiencies. I'm not going to talk about the job losses or robots taking over. What I will talk about is how we treat each other as a result of our obsession with practicality.

The INFJ-INTJ Romance (Pt. 2)
As I celebrated the anniversary of the day I began dating my beloved INTJ, I contemplated the remarkable peace and utter joy I have discovered as an INFJ. The more I experience what this relationship is like, the more I hope every INFJ who has ever felt as lonely as I have finds someone just as incredible.

The Half-Angel Among Us
I was heading home after my shift at the library ended. If not for the fact that I did a lot of binge reading there since I was 18 and could legally leave the orphanage, I would've been a lot more worried than I am when it came to helping some of the visitors study for their finals. As I witnessed the sun setting on my way home, I took some deep breaths while remembering that the sky will turn dark, meaning the angels will appear in the skies seeming like stars. I'd been trying to improve on not being too concerned about a portion of the angels not approving of my existence.
