Why You Can’t Perfectly Predict Your Response To A New Experience. Have you ever heard the saying, “ experience is the best teacher ”? I am certain a greater percentage of people have. What about “ to be forewarned is to be forearmed ”? Both quotes seem to point to the same thing, that the knowledge of something translates to better handling of that thing, or having a previous experience of something equips you with dealing with a similar situation more efficiently. Source: Shalom's WhatsApp Status Last week, I saw something on a friend status that I sort of agreed with. She was talking about pain and growth and concluded that knowledge and experience are two different things. And yeah they are. Knowledge is facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education, and experience is, practical contact with and observation of facts or events. The conflict she was trying to address from my point of reasoning is how people think they have more underst...
Hey! How has the new year been? Pretty awesome, right? And I thought of what better way to start this year than with a book review. I got to read this book, last year after I read someone’s commentary on the book of Esther which spurred me to look for other stories or commentary about women in the bible.

She was faithful in service to her new family, to the point of embracing t...
I would like to start by stating that I stole the title from a note that inspired me to put this up. Source: Weheartit.com I am aware that I am a collection of different people, ideas and inspiration, and maybe I am not an original, but it does not take away from the fact that the collection of all that makes me, well me, is a unique and somewhat original pattern and in the vastness of the universe and the depth of my insignificance, I am here, and I am leaving my mark. You see, I have always been afraid of the next day and I always thought there were a few things I needed to have that would make life a lot better; love, a partner, being the best student, and I chased after this blindly not caring what became of me. I believed if I at least had these things, I am going to have a chance. I am happy to announce I don't have any of that as I turn 21, at least not in the way I imagined. I have had quite a detour in life, learning the things I didn't consider important. And if there...
