Your perspective on things can really affect how your experience with the world is. It can be a rainbows and sunshine or it can be a darkness all around. Nathaniel Hawthorne expressed this in her story "Young Goodman Brown", it is about a man who's got life confused and not everything is what he think it is.

To protect my privacy having to do with communication, i'm starting to use letters if i want to say something very important and secret. But for normal everyday texting i'm going to use text messages and other social medias.

I think Young Goodman Brown is a very creepy and mood changing short story and is well thought out, it foreshadows a lot of what the characters might go through. it's also very creepy in the sense that its talking about the devil, similar to the story "Eden's garden".

i think the myth "the earth on turtle's back" its pretty religious but its a beautiful story none the less.

today i had the thought that it is pretty important to meditate and ground yourself every once in a while. It's very possible to get caught up in you head and not be able to concentrate on your priorities so using grounding method and meditation can really help your focus and soul

I have never really been excited when i hear the word essay, i think essays are pretty boring to write and they always feel really forced. put with today's discussion i feel a little more confident about writing out an essay.

*remix is combination and duplication of things that turn into one masterpiece * the 3 basic elements to creativity are; copy, transform, and combination * many masterpieces are actually remixes of other work, for example: star wars has a ot of references from different movies and it turned out to be a masterpiece.

There are many techniques to memorize things. I know a couples ways like; repetition, writing it down, record it, chunking it, and mirror.

In my opinion, i think its pretty important to know the people around you. Mainly because it could benefit you in some ways. For example when you're at a party, and you know the people that are there you can safely get a ride if you get too drunk. Or in a classroom, you can get the notes you missed easily if you know the people in your class.
