"I used to be afraid of dying. Now I’m afraid of not living. There’s a difference. We go through life planning for a future, but sometimes that future never comes."
This quote always gets me thinking about how we perceive life and death, and the choices we make every day. 🤔
How do you balance planning for the future with living in the present? Have you ever had a moment that made you reevaluate the way you live your life?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this delicate dance between living for today and preparing for tomorrow.

I just need different... Wanting my new episode of life journey.
Now, I enjoy being single but im sure it wont be long, I will need someone to be my life partner.
For me, It's not about the same age, older, or younger. It's about balancing life and being able to go hand in hand. Which gives comfort to the heart, comfort to the side, and endless affection. About laughing together, supporting, praying for each other, talking freely without limit without thinking this is appropriate or inappropriate.

I was supposed to write a travel essay or personal Essay for class but wasn't sure if this was good enough so, tell me what you think.
Nature and modern technology do not mix well especially when we are in an underdeveloped and traditional area.
It was the summer of 2015, we went on a vacation to Hasanur for about a week. When we were there our usual activities would be ‘going on car rides in the forest routes trying to find animals’, and few games with family. This time we decided to do something different and pay a visit to the farmlands around us. Hence we went to a neighbourhood called ‘Palaiyahasanur’. It was not our first time going there but we forgot how the place did not have any roads at all. There was only mud roads which became like swamps during rain, completely unsuitable for cars or any other vehicles.
The weather was all sunny and blue when we started but as we made our way nearer to those muddy puddles of a road it started to drizzle slowly. My dad was as usual, busy on the phone dealing with business and did not notice the roads or the rain, though he was on the co-driver seat.
Since he did not say anything our driver kept on going but slowly as the rains had become heavy now. Only after the phone signal was cut, did my dad realise the situation we were in, and decided to turn around. As the driver tried to reverse the car, it did not move. Instead it started sliding sideway into the muddy ditch like small trench.
Dad got out in the pouring rain and pushed the car from sideways as the driver accelerated it forward and backward, with no luck. My dad simply kept trying and with the given force the car moved sideways and he slipped and jumped into the small trench. Then we went forward for a couple miles to look for a spot to turn around, before the car got completely and utterly stuck in the muddy puddle ‘the road like thing’ had become in the showers.
There was little to no signal in that area but somehow they called a tractor to pull out the car. We got out the car and, we ladies, that is, my mother, sister and myself started to walk away to get to the village part from the farming area. All of us were drenched in the rain and yet our feet were muddy. My dad stayed there with the driver to get the car out. My sister was very young and we still carried her around in our arms from time to time, as she had just started walking. None of us could carry my baby sister for a long distance, as it was hard to even walk in that pouring rain and slippery mud puddles.
After a while of trying to get the car out, the tractor got stuck in the mud puddle as well. It is hilarious to recollect it now, but the experience itself was….no words to describe the emotions we felt then. We had to call a second tractor to get the first tractor from the mud puddle then our car. It was very dangerous to travel back the same way we came in our car, but we had no choice but to hope and pray that it does not get stuck in any other part of the road as the entire area’s roads were no more than puddle of mud by then.
The driver drove the car very slowly and carefully in the puddle and rain. We ladies had already started walking to the nearby village, we continued by walking itself, and dad also came walking beside the car from time to time. We realised the dangers of walking in such an environment, that is, in the side of the road, the trench or the path like spot between the road and the farming lands. There were electrical fencing around the fields, to keep out wild animals especially elephants which are very common in the area.
As the mud was very slippery to walk in, we found it difficult to balance and even stand straight. I was in the lead with my sister following close behind me and my mom in the rear, watching over my baby sister. We were careful not to even brush against the fence as it was raining and we might get shocked to death, but my sister being so little she almost slipped and accidentally touched, if only for a second, the electric fence. She received a current shock and started crying and my mother immediately touched her and the current passed through to her as well.
After hours and hours of struggled walking, we slowly reached the village area, as the rain gratefully stopped. A nice lady provided us with some water to wash off the mud. She spoke Kannada. It was a miracle that she even understood what we needed and helped us in our time of need.
We waited in front of her hut for a while for my dad or the car, when none came, we continued our walk with feet hurting like hell. We had not even realised that, during our dire walk in the rain and mud. We had almost reached the end of the village when my dad and the car caught up with us and we returned home. It was about 6:00 o’clock and we hurriedly had lunch and retired for the day, exhausted but relieved to be under the safe roof of our home, away from home.
There was not one but many lessons to take away from such an experience . The one that really stood out to me was how we were able to stay calm and collected, and tackle the obstacles irrelevant of how we felt. Life is filled with mountains and hills off obstacles and failures along with the success and pleasures. We must heed no attention to our emotions during a time of crisis, it would do no good to sit and feel bad or cry our eyes out. Instead, we pick and dust ourselves, think with a straight head a logical sequence of actions to achieve the desired results.
There are no words to express the mix of complicated emotions and thoughts running through each of us. It did not matter though, we kept trying and when the first try failed, we did not lose heart and sink into a ball of misery, rather tried again and got out alright. We supported, helped and console each other as a family is supposed to do.
Our ages did not matter, all of us went through the same experience and we can I’m sure remember till death that it was unpleasant, though, now, when we look back, reminiscing memories we only laugh and see it in a humorous light. Thrilling, fearful, panic stricken, humorous, life threatening and a crying baby with us is a few words about the whole experience.
Sure, panic is a default mode for people in such dire situations. The key is to lock that panic stricken emotions and fear into a box, lock the key and throw it away and focus on logic and reason. So that, our next action would let us escape. It does not matter if we fail on the first step towards getting out, we keep trying and trying until we get it right and done, just like the people climbing the highest mountain peak of the Mount Everest.

I don’t make new year resolutions. Instead at the beginning of each year, I define my direction and things I’d like to accomplish and experience; places I’d like to visit; books I’d like to read; skills I’d like to refine or develop; areas I’d like to grow; designs and vision I’d like to put into my felting work. My lack of activity on Instagram has allowed me some space for quiet reflection and deeper thought for intentional living and creating art. More to come soon. Photo: My felted croissant and I.

Hi. I've just seen your post about leos and air signs compatibility. I'm Leo but I do not like air signs and I'm never attracted to them always put them them at arms length. But I love water signs, have always been attracted to one and also have always been in relationship with them. Could it be because of my cancer moon?
Thank you 💌
Of course, your moon and the rest of the chart can influence the way you perceive water signs. After all, your moon is your soul and the deepest that is hidden from the rest of the world. I only talk about the sun sign (I should have specified)

Finding Your Motivation: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Growth
Have you ever wondered what truly motivates you? What gets you bouncing out of bed in the morning, ready to seize the day? What ignites that spark within you, sending butterflies fluttering in your stomach with just the mere thought of it? These questions delve deep into the essence of who we are, and if I'm being honest, I don't have all the answers. But hey, who does, right?
The beauty of these questions lies in their ever-evolving nature. As we journey through life, our motivations shift and evolve, much like the changing seasons. And that's okay! It's a testament to our growth and evolution as individuals. After all, should we be tethered to the same source of motivation our entire lives? I think not. It's the pursuit of these answers that adds richness and depth to our existence, offering us a kaleidoscope of perspectives on life.
One of my favorite pastimes is flipping through old photographs of myself. It's like taking a trip down memory lane, revisiting the person I used to be and marveling at how far I've come. The transformation is palpable – a testament to the power of growth. Sure, it's not always easy. In fact, it can be downright painful and challenging at times. But oh, the rewards that await on the other side! There's nothing quite like the feeling of shedding old skin, embracing change, and emerging as a beacon of inspiration for others.
So, fellow humans, I implore you: embark on your quest for answers. Search high and low, delve into the depths of your soul, and unearth the hidden gems that define who you are. Give meaning to your life, for in doing so, you'll discover a sense of purpose that transcends the mundane. Remember the ancient wisdom inscribed at Delphi: "Know thyself." For in knowing oneself, one finds the key to unlocking the boundless potential that lies within.
Let's make this journey of self-discovery a fun-filled adventure, shall we? Let's laugh, let's cry, let's stumble and fall – but above all, let's grow. Together, we'll turn the mundane into the extraordinary, one revelation at a time. So, what motivates you? The answer awaits, dear friend. It's time to embark on the journey of a lifetime.

Music mogul and hip-hop legend Dr. Dre is offering a harrowing glimpse into his health struggles in a recent interview. In a candid conversation on SiriusXM's This Life of Mine with James Corden, Dre revealed that he not only suffered a brain aneurysm in 2021 but also experienced three strokes while hospitalized. This article delves deeper into Dr. Dre's experience, exploring the details of his health scare, its impact on him, and the importance of preventative health measures. A Brush with Mortality: Dr. Dre's Brain Aneurysm and Stroke Experience News of Dr. Dre's brain aneurysm first surfaced in 2021, with the music icon confirming his hospitalization through a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. While the initial message reassured fans that he was receiving excellent care and would be back home soon, the true extent of the ordeal remained undisclosed. Fast forward to 2024, and Dr. Dre is shedding light on the gravity of his situation. In his interview with Corden, he revealed that his journey wasn't limited to just the aneurysm. He shockingly disclosed experiencing "three strokes" during his two-week hospitalization. A Wake-Up Call and the Importance of Early Detection Dr. Dre's account highlights the unpredictable nature of brain aneurysms. He described initially feeling pain behind his right ear, which quickly escalated into "the worst pain" he'd ever experienced. Despite a healthy lifestyle that included weightlifting and running, the aneurysm struck unexpectedly. This emphasizes the importance of regular checkups and blood pressure monitoring, especially for high-risk demographics like African American men. Dr. Dre himself acknowledges this point, calling high blood pressure the "silent killer" in Black communities. Many individuals with high blood pressure might not experience any noticeable symptoms, making routine medical checkups crucial for early detection and treatment. The Road to Recovery and a Renewed Appreciation for Life While Dr. Dre isn't certain about the long-term impact of this health scare on his daily life, he admits it has undoubtedly instilled a deeper appreciation for being alive. He describes facing the possibility of death firsthand, with doctors preparing his family for a potential goodbye. The physical challenges were equally daunting. His recovery process involved intensive monitoring, sleep deprivation due to hourly checkups, and two weeks without eating. Despite these hurdles, Dr. Dre persevered and emerged from the ordeal with a renewed sense of gratitude for his health. Dr. Dre's Story: A Message of Awareness and Resilience Dr. Dre's experience serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of prioritizing our health. Here are some key takeaways: Brain aneurysms can strike unexpectedly, regardless of lifestyle choices. Regular checkups and blood pressure monitoring are crucial for early detection of potential health risks. High blood pressure, particularly in Black men, can be a silent killer. Don't wait for symptoms to appear before seeking medical care. Even the most challenging health battles can be overcome with resilience and a positive attitude. Dr. Dre's story goes beyond raising awareness about brain aneurysms and strokes. It's a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and emerge stronger. FAQs Q: What is a brain aneurysm? A: A brain aneurysm is a weak spot in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain that bulges or balloons outward. If the aneurysm ruptures, it can cause bleeding in the brain, leading to serious health complications. Q: What are the symptoms of a brain aneurysm? A: Symptoms of a brain aneurysm can vary but may include a sudden and severe headache, nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness, blurred vision, or loss of consciousness. Q: What are the risk factors for brain aneurysms? A: Risk factors for brain aneurysms include high blood pressure, smoking, a family history of aneurysms, and certain medical conditions like connective tissue disorders. Q: How is a brain aneurysm treated? A: Treatment for a brain aneurysm depends on its size and location. Options might include surgery to clip the aneurysm or a minimally invasive procedure to coil the aneurysm. Q: How can I prevent a brain aneurysm? A: While there's no guaranteed way to prevent brain aneurysms, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help reduce your risk. This includes managing your blood pressure, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking.

Poverty Reflections
In the chronicles of my life, three years have flown,
Since I dwelt in poverty, in a realm so lone.
A job, not the best, yet sustenance it bore,
On my table, it laid provisions galore.
A wage that failed to mirror my true merit,
But the toil was light, so why fret and inherit
Worry or anger, rejection's bitter kiss,
For I, in destitution, could not dismiss.
Honest admission, I was dirt poor,
With pockets bare, life's burdens to endure.
Recall the first month, three years in the past,
No shoes adorned my feet, a barefoot cast.
Tattered soles, akin to walking free,
In shoes so worn, no grace could they decree.
Two trousers, a pair, washed once a week,
A pungent scent, my wardrobe's mystique.
A colleague intervened, air freshener in hand,
To combat the odor that my garments command.
Embarrassment gripped as the smelly girl I became,
Not by choice, poverty the culprit to blame.
A new job emerged, but rags clung tight,
Yet not due to destitution, a different fight.
Choice led me to save, not for lavish attire,
But to safeguard against a future's dire mire.
In the present, uncertainty clouds the sky,
As the company's winds of change draw nigh.
A restructuring storm, automation's embrace,
Artificial intelligence, altering the workplace.
My boss declared, to my team lead's dismay,
Automation would seize our work array.
Dust off your CVs, the lead proclaimed,
A retrenchment looms, the future unnamed.
Do I feel remorse? Nay, it eludes my soul,
No attachment binds me to this job's toll.
A stepping stone in times of need,
A chapter closed, yet gratitude I concede.
In the echo of change, a tale is spun,
Of trials faced, and battles won.
A job's transient solace, a fleeting stay,
Yet lessons learned, I carry away.

In the quiet corners of my sister's backyard, a majestic pecan tree stands tall, its branches gracefully swaying in the wind like a dancer caught in a rhythmic embrace. From my temporary perch in her house, I find solace in the subtle dance of the leaves as they change colors, a poignant reflection of the changes within my own life.
As I navigate the storm of emotions brought on by a divorce from my best friend, lover, and wife, the pecan tree becomes my silent companion. Its branches, laden with nuts, whisper stories of resilience and growth. Each day, I find myself drawn to the window, captivated by the tree's stoic beauty.
The pecan tree becomes a symbol of family, a testament to the strength that roots provide during turbulent times. I watch as the wind tousles its leaves, carrying away the weight of my troubles. The sound of a pecan hitting the ground echoes like a reminder—a gentle nudge from nature that life continues, and so must I.
In the midst of my emotional tempest, my sister's house becomes a haven of understanding and support. She graciously opens her doors, offering a refuge from the storms of life. My heart swells with gratitude for her unwavering support during a time when I feel adrift.
One evening, as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow on the pecan tree, I find myself standing beneath its branches. The rustling leaves and the occasional thud of a fallen pecan become a soothing symphony. In that moment, I whisper my thanks to the tree—for being a silent witness to my journey—and to my sister, who, like the pecan, provides a place of shelter and comfort.
The pecan tree outside my window, with its ever-changing leaves and the gentle cadence of falling nuts, becomes a metaphor for life's cycles. It reminds me that, just as seasons change, so too do the chapters of our lives. And as I embrace the ebb and flow of emotions, I find strength in the silent companionship of a tree and the loving embrace of family.

A Man’s Life in The Mirror
Puberty’s first glance,
Face morphs, a changing visage,
Discovering self.
Graduation’s smile,
Reflected pride and knowledge,
Future shimmers bright.
Career’s mirror shows
Lines of diligence and toil,
Ambitions take shape.
Marriage’s embrace,
Two souls merged, reflections merge,
Love’s deep resonance.
Fatherhood’s pure joy,
Eyes mirror unconditional,
Legacy revealed.
On the deathbed’s edge,
Reflection whispers life’s tale,
Peace in closure’s gaze.
