I did some research during my sophomore year of college on socialization and the importance for children to receive it. I wrote a paper on what I found out and what I found most important to know. Socialization is very important for a child’s development. Children's brains are like sponges, sensitive to the environment and are affected by things easily. What they see and learn can impact them greatly.

As some may know, the brain has two hemispheres. The left and right hemisphere communicate with each other to work the brain cognitively. Though, what happens when the brain is split in half and that connection between the two hemispheres is no longer there. How does the person still have their cognitive function? The information provided will cover the basics of split brain patients, how they function, and studies done on them.

Finding true love doesn't mean head diving into a relationship and hurting yourself to be with them.

Today can be the first day to the rest of your life. Be you, do what you want to do, travel, go sightseeing. Whatever you want to do take that leap of faith and do it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, success is built on failures. You have to see the cup as half full, the universe won't line itself up for you, you have to make it that way. Make the best out of a bad situation and get yourself out of it. Nobody is perfect. Nobody is even expecting you to be perfect. Just always do your best and good will always follow you.

Healing is possible You can make beauty from your ashes Life is a journey You can do it Don’t give up

A poem brought on by a dream about my daughter. Written with heavy guilt over not being there for her when I should because of past mistakes.

When your brain “zones out,” it’s actually activating the Default Mode Network (DMN) — a system linked to memory, creativity, and self-reflection. Neuroscience shows that boredom helps your brain connect ideas, process emotions, and generate insights. So next time you're staring into space, relax — you're doing brainwork.

TWO questions and answers today because they were so short: DEAR ASK A PUNK - My girlfriend and I are breaking up. Who gets the dog? She brought it home originally, but he's pretty much mine. I walk and feed and take him to the vet when I'm home. I think she only wants him because she know's it is pissing me off. …Michael & DEAR ASK A PUNK - I'm an LA chick who enjoyed heavy metal but mostly country music in high school. How can I relate to punks? If I happen to be next to one randomly somewhere, what is a good conversation starter? I pride myself on being able to relate to lots of different people but am a bit stumped on this one. Your advice would be helpful. ...Karen (Answers inside)

Green eyes. Why can’t I love my eyes when she has the blue eyes I always wanted. But mine hold the richness of the world in them.

Looking at people as a whole, I think many are lost and stuck when it comes to our priorities, goals, and ambitions. I get that we have many things on our minds and things aren't always so simple, but it doesn't always feel like we're moving forward with our lives. We're isolated, stuck in a place we don't want to be in, working for someone we don't like. We're stuck in routines that don't really get us anywhere. Overall, we need to focus and better prioritize.

Daily rune draw. Have been drawing runes for a few weeks now and decided to journal about it as to keep a memory of it, or maybe find wisdom later.

Love who you are, not just for what you look like but for your personality, and where you came from.

Every masterpiece, every impactful story, every profound human interaction carries within it a hidden architecture – a "creative code" that dictates its resonance. As "Unseen Architects," our mission is to peel back the layers of the obvious and decipher these silent languages of expression. And where better to begin than at the very threshold of a story: its opening line. A single sentence can act as a master key, unlocking worlds, setting tones, and imprinting indelible impressions. But how? What precise combination of words, rhythm, and intent transforms a simple declaration into an enduring fragment of literary power? It's not magic; it's code.

An exploration of the cosmos within and without, and the memories and concept of doubt. A way to let go and feel free again.

This one is for the people who give and give—thinking maybe one day it’ll be enough. Until they realize it never was about being enough.

Music was how we used to love each other.
Now it’s how I know he’s gone—even when he swears he’s still here.

I never thought I’d become a stranger in my own relationship.
But this is the truth I’ve kept quiet—until now.
