Dear sleeping beauty,

When you wake up what is your experience? Is it something like hearing the beautiful noise of birds chirping, the wind blowing, or knowing that today is the day that you're ALIVE?

You're up and moving, you can breath,and you can do things. Are you aware? Are you being appreciative of the moment? Some people wake up without acknowledging the fact that they can even hear those birds chirping. Or maybe they've overlooked the bright reflection that the sun is sharing upon their window.

People take advantage of the natural and supernatural gifts placed upon their lives each and everyday. Watching the cars flow through the streets, yet still they’re not aware. Because instead of being amazed with how far mankind has came with technology, it’s the negative disadvantages that catch the eye.These people are not truly “woke”. So I say to you, if you're one of these sleeping beauties who have been taking the Earth's gifts for granted, change your ways. Do something for our planet, and make an effort everyday to leave your mark!

“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet”.

A touch of philosophy from Aryonne Genae’Link:“Challenges will arise, but it’s up to you to overcome them. Look at the bright side at least you have challenges to face, some people are dead…”

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
