About me - Stephanie Iiams

If I wrote anything about my life it would most likely be gibberish and filled with stories that have nothing to do with anything at all. So if you want to know about me you'll just have to read my articles. When you write you give away a part of yourself

Relationships & Family > Friendship Advice Love and Friendship: 5 of 21
You can love someone without it being in a romantic way. I truly love my friends, but I could never imagine kissing, or holding hands with any of them. The love I have for them is different. I love how they brighten my day, how they are there for me when I need them, how they can be brutally honest and get my head out of the... More..
Relationships & Family > Love & Lust Why love hurts so much: 26 of 95
Pain reaches beyond the physical realm, the deepest pain is found in your heart.Anything that is so explosive and tender, so passionate and deep, so simple and yet so complex is going to leave behind a mark; and it's going to hurt.

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Fear of belief: 11 of 26
The ways people choose to view things can really distort the truth, just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean the truth isn't out there, it doesn't mean that everyone can be right because it's all about personal opinion. Who made that up anyway? Just because you don't believe in gravity doesn't mean it's not t... More..

Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Thoughts on individuality: 23 of 37
Individuality is really a very funny thing, we are all different but because we are all different we are all the same. One more complexity of humanity. I think people move in patterns. An individual will go about things in a different way then another individual would, but the outcome remains the same. We all go about our l... More..
Arts & Humanities > Ethics Are human beings capable of truly selfless acts: 25 of 35
By nature I think human kind is incredibly selfish. We spend our entire lives caring for ourselves, our needs, or needs of people we care about. Even when we branch out, more often then not, we are reaching for someone we've come in contact with. So no, we are not entirely capable of a purely selfless act. No matter which way... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Do people have absolute rights that all governments should protect?: 50 of 66
Leaving your rights up to another person has never seemed like a very good idea to me. And there is always the question of safety over rights. At what point is it ok to take away rights to ensure the public's safety, and how far many rights will you allow the government to take away if it means you'll be safe'. But because g... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Theories of Spirituality Reflections on the saying: 'Live like you are dying': 26 of 33
Every day you are alive you are dying. Every day you are that much closer to your final breath, really every moment could potentially be your last. Life is short, it is precious and real life is rare. Every day whether you realize it or not you are living and dying at the same time. There is so much indescribable beauty in t... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Unity through the power of the pen: 4 of 5
There is something incredible about the power of words, something truly miraculous in our ability to create with them. A pen in hand with words spilling over the paper creates a certain connection between people; a connection you are unable to find anywhere else. When people write it is their chance to give away a part of the... More..
