I don’t recall ever writing a post that simultaneously serves as a cry for help, but there is a first for everything, I suppose. A cry for help is a dramatic way of wording seeking suggestions and advice, but a strong hook in writing typically is not frowned upon.

Empathy is a concept that, nowadays, is hard to come by. For anyone unfamiliar with the term empathy and what exactly the concept is, it is, in my own words, the ability to read someone’s mood and/or emotions and be mindful of both when engaging with them. Put simply, it is the ability to ‘feel’ … More The power of empathy
Some days I truly feel as though I could successfully compose an argumentative essay stating that the concept of helping others, in a general sense, is on the brink of extinction.

I’ve made mention here on my blog of my tutoring business, and for the topic of today’s post, allow me to make mention of it once more. I started tutoring about a year-and-a-half ago, roughly, and I’ve been enjoying it, for the most part. Like literally anything, there are pros and cons to tutoring. I … More Considering being a tutor? Read this
As I’ve mentioned in a few different posts now, I am helping some folks out by tutoring them in English.

A few days ago, I pulled a bit of a bone-head move. I was helping out on the farm, tripped over my own feet, and fell backwards onto my left, and dominant hand. I heard a loud crack and almost instant pain, and when I went to take a look at the damage, I discovered … More It’s okay to be dependable
As we are all more than aware, the state of the world right now is questionable.

Everyone has bad days every now and again. It’s relatively inevitable. Things don’t go as planned, stress rises, and soon, it seems as though the universe is working against us.

Today’s post differs slightly from the typical content I discuss here on my blog, but I think it’s important to draw attention to the topic. As of late, I’ve been feeling pretty bland.
