I was swift to turn around, wondering why the class had suddenly gone quiet. I was sitting opposite Kelvin and Max, my classmates, and backing the class. It was freshman year, and everyone unconsciously picked their friends for the next few years. The class contained about 70 students, and the lecturer was late, which was not unusual ...

There was a time in my life when I cared so much about what people thought or said about me. It bothers me so much when I hear people say unpleasant things about me, some of which are not true. I find it difficult to take my mind off such talks, and sometimes it does contribute to my inferiority complex. When the challenges of life struck me some time ago and it felt like I wouldn't proceed in my academics, I faced many criticisms that would have cost me my future if I had acted on most of the bad things said to me ...

The pungent aroma of vinegar and dill filled Amara's nostrils as she stirred the large ceramic crock before her. Sweaty strands of her flame red hair clung to her brow in the cramped, boiling confines of her aunt's potion kitchen. At sixteen summers old, Amara was already an skilled apothecary's apprentice, deftly mixing exotic ingredients imported from far flung lands. Yet her true passion was experimenting with the oft overlooked bounty from her own village's humble vegetable gardens ...

Amber is a single mother who struggled her way through life, she never had anything easy, but she was determined to always conquer and this sometimes gets in her duty as a parent. Sometimes, she struggles to balance her life between increasing her earnings to six figures, climbing her way up the social ladder, securing a decent apartment, providing her daughter Stacey the basics and still be emotionally available for her. Every so often, Amber is caught between worlds, and she feels most times her job deserves her attention more since that is what pays the bills. One would think Stacey would be happy being on the fortunate side of life due to her mother's hard work ...

Well, it's not really called derpy fish, but it sure looks like one 😄 Just check it out: And here it is from another angle It just looks so sad. It's dead so it makes sense... But you know what I mean 😆😢 So, this is a fish I had never heard about and I discovered today thanks to Twitter. Scientifically described as Oxynotus bruniensis, this is a poorly understood dogfish shark found in the waters of Australia and New Zealand, in reported depths ranging from 45 to 1,067 m. It's commonly known as the prickly dogfish ...

One of the first things to do before you start planning your travel luggage is to check the weather forecast. Knowing what temperatures we are going to encounter in the place is ideal to know what clothes to bring, even if it is approximate because it can always fail. In the case of the visit to Ushuaia, I was already checking the weather about three weeks before the date arrived and it was not very encouraging because they saw quite a few days of rain ahead. That's what made me buy waterproof clothes and shoes to have just in case because in my mind I was expecting big storms, but luckily this was not at all the case 😅 ...

It has become a routine when we go on long trips, especially land trips and drive our own vehicle, distance and stamina are the main keys. Not all individuals have the same stamina, especially those who have never traveled long distances. When I was going on a trip to the city of Padang, West Sumatra, because the distance was quite far, I decided to look for a place to rest and I accidentally found a large parking area with lots of fairly dense trees for shade and at that time the place was still quiet because it was not yet lunch time. and Muslim prayer times ...

Hello everybody :) During the macro photography session that I'm sharing today, the focus was on capturing detailed images of a small plant collected during a walk next to some huge dunes that are located in a reserved area along the Portuguese coast in the north of the country. In future articles I will have the opportunity to share more records of other specimens collected in the same location. With the focus directed to this small branch, it was possible to obtain visual records of these delicate green leaves and, at the end, a vibrant yellow flower. The intricate beauty and fascinating complexity of these elements highlight the unique textures and patterns of this specimen ...
