Part 10 of my New Entry series, this will mark the LAST one as I don't want to keep going about any and everything and that I'd love to move on to something new for once.

Part 9 of my New Entry series that I've been working on since the 15th, this one is completely random and will cover any and everything. I will do one more after this before moving on to my Christmas Countdown notes!

Life isn’t a teacher or a tormentor; it’s a stage for experience. It throws events at us—good, bad, or traumatic—and leaves us to decide how we respond. Is it ours to control or just an elaborate game of chance? Maybe life’s purpose isn’t to break or teach us but to see how well we navigate its unpredictable waves.

Behind our tough exteriors lies a shared truth: humans are as vulnerable as they are strong. What if, instead of fleeing from our inner chaos, we embraced it? This is a call to strip away the masks of indifference, face our demons, and let the world see our raw, unfiltered selves—because true strength is found in acknowledging our weaknesses .

Chasing success has become life’s ultimate illusion—where the fear of failure drives us to despise poverty, deny ourselves joy, and mistake purpose for survival. But does life truly care about our labels or dreams of grandeur, or is it all a self-imposed burden?

Life is meant to show the struggles of people going through mental illness. Sorry this one isn't my best one, but hope you enjoy, none the less :)

Thanksgiving is finally here in all of its delicious glory; I'll be covering a neat little note about it today and why it's probably the tastiest holiday apart from Christmas.

The very thing you are afraid of might just be the next thing that will keep your spirit protected.

Taking control of your life is both a scary and beautiful choice in a society where we’re taught to fear poverty, chase success, and pursue quick wealth—only to keep our true desires on hold. We sacrifice our souls for what? Money.

This is supposed to show what it feels like to go through a break up while suffering with your mental health. Enjoy :)

What do you think of when you hear "Behavioral Health Hospital?" You might think of crazy people, of safety, or of any other thing. What I think of? I think of pain, shots, fear and of not really being a person. Here's what I think, we should talk about this and change these "hospitals."

Why would I write anything to folks I don’t know? At this point I’m just ranting. Well, here is the point. You don’t know anything about Dan Raabe. I’m not that complicated. I want only one thing. To have an interesting life with weird people, making a career out of satisfying my hunger for beauty, humor, and self-expression- admittedly three very difficult and expensive items on the menu.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews could return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers after missing eight games with an upper-body injury. Matthews has been skating individually since returning from a trip to Germany, where he consulted a doctor for further evaluation. He joined the team for his first full practice on Tuesday, centering a line with Pontus Holmberg and William Nylander. While Matthews said he felt good, he noted he might need another practice or two to regain full conditioning. Despite his absence, the Leafs have gone 7-1-0, maintaining their lead in the Atlantic Division.

Winter was now in motion. Snow was falling slowly but surely and the rivers began to wear their coat of ice. Cherry trees were shedding their petals, being replaced with bare wood and snow. Sweaters and jackets were coming out of closets and hot chocolate was being bought faster than the skiers that were now adorning the mountains. Hitori’s boots crunched in the pale snow as he walked to school, Nonkina walking beside him. Ever since he started school, he had made good friends with Nonkina. They hung out at lunch together, studied together at the library and talked over the phone almost every day. Although they had never been to each other’s homes, they were stringing together an unbreakable bond.

Thumbnail Description: A vibrant scene showing a lonely girl sitting on a swing in the middle of a lush, green park as the sun sets. The swing sways gently, with soft golden hues of the sunset reflecting off the surrounding trees. A sense of tranquility and longing fills the image. 55-Word Story: Amelia sat on the swing, watching the sky burn with hues of orange and pink. The park was empty, save for the whispering wind.

Birds are diverse and fascinating creatures that inhabit nearly every part of the Earth. With over 10,000 species, they vary in size, shape, and behavior, from tiny hummingbirds to flightless ostriches. Birds are known for their ability to fly, which is made possible by their light bones, powerful muscles, and specialized feathers. While many birds soar through the skies, others, like penguins, are adapted to life in the water. Birdsong plays an important role in communication, helping birds establish territory and attract mates. Birds also contribute significantly to ecosystems by aiding in pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control. However, many bird species face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and pollution, making conservation efforts crucial. In summary, birds are essential to the balance of nature, offering beauty and ecological services, and it’s vital to protect them to preserve the health of our planet’s ecosystems.
