The rule of threes is famous in survival circles — I’ve written about it before — but now I want to narrow in on what is usually the top priority. You can go three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water, and three weeks without food. Talking about air would be silly, so this article is about shelter. I’m not going to teach you how to build a shelter in this lesson. Instead, I’m going to talk about what qualifies as a shelter.

Mustache Man The Weimar Republic failed. It was actually a pretty spectacular failure. Their currency became worthless almost overnight, a victim of hyperinflation brought about by the sanctions and reparations from WWI. People were desperate, and Hitler gave them a place to focus their anger — but let’s be clear, without the collapse of the German economy, Hitler would not have been able to make that narrative work. If people are happy, they don’t need someone to blame. He gave them an easy focus for their fear, something that didn’t force them to face reality. Sure, it was a lie — but fascism always starts from a lie.

A poem for those who believe love endures.I vow to you not in grand gestures, but in the silent, eternal truth of a pulse that knows no rhythm alone.

This poem highlights my feelings about what kind of romantic love I wanted. Do I want my romantic love to be like a K-Drama or like the most hyped up Regency Jane Austen style (but with sexualized hype), like Bridgerton? For this poem, I use the K-Drama "Idol - I" and Netflix Regency Romance Series "Bridgerton" as examples to highlight my thoughts and perspectives about how I genuinely feel about romance, positively, and possibly at the same time express my love for both the series.

In the struggle between the physical and the spiritual, we often mistake our own endurance for our own strength. These two pieces explore the same battle from two different lenses: the prophetic 'big picture' and the raw, first-person testimony of standing under divine protection.

When I met my future ex-husband it was 2001. 911 had happened a few months ago and I was searching for friends. Friends to go out with, do things, instead of just staying home reading. I met Him. We became best friends and started dating quickly. We met each others parents. Things were going well. We became engaged a year later, and married in 2003.

{A teddy bear sits alone in an empty room / Chalk marks decorate the barren floor / Along with star-shaped stickers that stick no more} a poem about losing one's childhood.

The ideas of a man with no intentions be anything but himself and of himself with his things and only his things.

This reset is a return to the fundamentals that truly nourish you. Clearing mental clutter and selecting thoughts that are kinder. Move your body in ways that are comfortable, not demanding. Warm your spirit through prayer, reflection, rest, and simple moments that feel sacred. February hasn't asked us to bloom yet. It prompts us to rest, restore, and reset. To care for our inner world like a warm fire, steady and glowing, preparing us for what comes next.
