The Ignored Benefits of Cycling
Nowadays, most often, the transport is less frequent by bicycle, and more by car, motorcycle, bus, tram, subway, etc. Few people go ahead in traffic, whether they go shopping or work, by bike.

Where do I start in a in telling a story that started so long ago. With the details that count or with the details that are the most important. The days that matter the most, or the ones that make me seem like a normal person.

I’ve always wondered about what it would be like to write a book. As a young child, books seemed to be a simple given. Always there. Preeminent and waiting. This seemed obvious to my younger self. Like food and water.

Writing is Mot Innate, but it Can Feel as Much
There is this concept in psychologyfor which we understand things better when they don't work. In the case of psychology, it's easier to know what to look for in the brain after damage. For example, we know where in the brain we store memories thanks to views on the brains of people with amnesia…and so on.

First Step To The Big Dream. Runner-Up in We Have a Dream Challenge.
I have a big dream; it’s so big and unrealistic to many, I dare not to tell anyone. Until now. I dream of a peaceful and harmonious world where people have roofs over their heads and do not go hungry. This is one of my dreams that had not been materialized. Although I had some experience of living in very minimal material comforts and foods during my college year, I was fortunate enough to have a shared room and meals provided by the restaurant for which I worked on weekends and in the evening. I have never experienced homelessness, but I have a friend who has during his youth due to a drug-addicted parent who couldn't adequately provide for her son. Unfortunately, there are many children who become homeless because of their parents' misfortunes, issues with money, mental and/or emotional health in industrious countries like the US. There are so many people without decent housing and food in developing countries as well. My dream is to create a world that none of us need to worry about not having shelters to feel safe and food to eat. Rich or poor, it is our birthright to have these basic necessities. Sounds dreamy? I used to think so. But no more.

Why I'm writing on Vocal:
My name is Sam Desir-Spinelli, I'm a decrepit old fart living in a flimsy, deteriorating, 30 year old body. I’m a big (overweight) foodie who loves foraging and outdoor cooking. I have a favorite tree, the Eastern Hemlock— here's a picture:

Through the Eyes of the Blind: My Child Born Blind
I'm really not sure how to start writing this. After all, I'll likely never know what it's like to be blind, but I expect I'll gain a better understanding as I watch my daughter grow.

Death Penalty: Is it effective?
Since random death sentence trials are morally abusive, it is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain tangible evidence of the restraining effect of the death penalty to convince strong supporters. The penalty for changing your mind. For crimes punishable by death in a foreign country, such as smuggling or smuggling of illegal drugs, economic crime, or politically motivated violence, there is no credible evidence of a deterrent effect. Experts who treat the death penalty with the death penalty, and in some cases drug-related crime worldwide, say that there is not enough evidence to conclude that the death penalty has a detrimental effect. Although the death penalty for crimes against humanity has been mentioned in many religious texts and has been widely used by religious leaders throughout history, today there is no consensus on the death penalty among religious sects or denominations.

2022: A New Mindset. Runner-Up in We Have a Dream Challenge.
Hello. My name is Alexis. I am not one to share much about myself, but I will. I am 23 years old and have two small children. Writing is not only a hobby for me but a passion for me as well. The last several years have been difficult for me in terms of financial stability and toxic relationships but that hasn’t stopped me from pushing myself to do better. Especially for the people surrounding me.

Once a Writer, Always a Writer
My Dad carried this tiny wooden desk into our house and my Mom set it up in the corner of the family room. As soon as its legs hit the floor I gravitated toward it, completely mesmerized. I don’t remember asking for it, but I distinctly remember Mom telling me, “This is your desk.”

Red
This colour is sexy and alluring. It is being rich and mysterious; bold, but not tacky or flashy; sophisticated yet mischievous. It is elegant fangs tearing the flesh of an apple, tearing the flesh of someone’s throat; a tongue lapping up the life that throbs from the carotid artery. Someone is watching you, and they are fascinating and dangerous. Do you indulge or not? It is natural to indulge. It makes your senses prick wildly. It electrifies you, makes you feel alert again. What will come from this?
