Contrary to Popular Belief
I think we have all been in this situation before. A friend comes to you with a problem asking for help. You listen to their side of the story and hear all the nitty gritty details. You sit back, reflect on it with your own life experiences and then give them your advice. What you would do in that situation and what would most likely be the best course of action for them. You explain it soundly, logically and with plenty of evidence and self-experience to back it up. However, you see the words zoom right over your friend’s head. You sit back and watch them go do the exact opposite of what you had just suggested, reminding yourself again and again that they had come to YOU for advice. A little time passes and after the inevitable train wreck has occurred; said friend comes back crying and upset talking about their woes again. All you can do is sit there and say either out loud or to yourself (depending on the type of friend you are):

Ode to Ada
The day I lost my Great-Grandma Ada is a day I have never quite recovered from. I awoke on March 5th, 2006 to news that would rock the world of any 10-year-old. My Grandma Sharon’s cell phone was going off and it woke me up first, I had fallen asleep with my grandma on her bed the night before watching TV and honestly, once I’m unconscious, it’s too much effort to try to get me up. I remember sitting up and nudging my grandma telling her the phone was going off. I handed her the cell phone and saw my uncle’s name as the contact. Her brother, my great uncle, was living with my grandma Ada helping to take care of her. She had just gotten out of a recent hospital stay and we had just been over there the day before. All of the family had actually. We had spent the day eating and going through old family photos with Grandma Ada at the helm sharing all of the memories she could give us about them. Grandma Sharon answered the phone and I could hear my uncle’s words on the other end. My Grandma Ada was on her way to the hospital, and it was bad.

We are no longer self-reliant!
It is no secret that as of right now, the world is in bleak condition. We have a global pandemic going on. Wars are running rampant in several countries. Pollution is out of control causing several different health issues among the communities. The list goes on and on. One of the major bones I must pick with society at this moment is the almost entirely unnecessary dependency on grocery stores and fast food restaurants. There is a website I will link here (https://www.partnersforyourhealth.com/fast-food-statistics) that shows the health statistics when it comes to fast food eating and the economic standings of the fast food industries. The information is very interesting and surprising, and it also includes a guide for healthy eating on a busy schedule. It may put some things into perspective.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time
Have you ever had the feeling that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time? Usually when we feel this sort of feeling it is because of a bad situation happening to us or maybe not even bad but just awkward. Now imagine for a moment that the wrong place was your entire teen and adult life thus far. Imagine that you feel as if your entire life was playing out in a time period that didn’t seem to quite fit with your values or wants and desires. I, unfortunately, don’t have to imagine such a scenario because this is how I feel 24/7.

We Are All Human
The way that society functions as a whole today is on an entirely different level than any other previous generation that has graced this Earth. The things that humans can do in today's age is fascinating. The technology we have is almost unearthly at times. The access to food and water, to healthcare, to places once unreachable. Humans today have traveled to other celestial bodies. We have been able to accomplish amazing architectural feats. Human society on a physical level seems as superior as ever. However, like a coin, there is always another side to it.
