Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Religious contradictions: 2 of 3
Last real lecture of Mythology class, and finally something comes up that really irks me. Not that I don't believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, nor do I believe that the opinion presented was ill-informed. It just kills me how Western thought is so very Christianized, and few even realize it.I'm listening to a l... More..
Health & Fitness > Depression Is depression over-diagnosed?: 2 of 3
I believe that there is such a thing as depression, and that it can be devastating. I also believe that as a culture, we have taken it to an entirely new level. The word has snuck into our vocabulary, and is often overused in even that sense."She's depressed because the boy she likes asked someone else to the dance." No, she'... More..
Relationships & Family > Grief & Loss Life support: Should the wishes of the family take precedence over the patient's right to relieve his own suffering?: 75 of 111

I moved out of my parent's house on a rainy October night when I realized that I might just lose my mind if I stayed there.

The problem was, the situation I move... More..

With the cost of everything rising, it becomes more and more important to know some of the "secrets" to saving a dollar here and there, or perhaps more. Start with something we all need to buy-food.

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My dream wedding: 13 of 17
As I browse through every bridal book and magazine I own, to prepare for my own upcoming wedding, the first thing they say to do is to envision "the wedding of your dreams". I always wanted to get married, and I did have some thoughts on my dream wedding- it would be outside, and I would be barefoot. No veil would adorn my he... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The writer's mind: 11 of 13
"I don't think she's done yet," I say, referring to J.K. Rowling and some recent rumor I heard that suggested she had said the Harry Potter books would be her first and her last. "Why? She's already made so much money. She doesn't have to write anymore." "It's not that," I answered, images and half-developed characters swirli... More..
