Who Are You?
Who Are You? In my senior year of High School, one of my teachers gave us an interesting assignment. We were instructed to write an essay answering the following questions: Who am I? Why am I here? (What’s my life purpose?) There may have been a few other questions we were to answer, but these […]

Keep Up With The Upkeep Maintenance. Have you thought about all the time you spend on the basic upkeep of life? Life seems to be a perpetual process of maintaining.
