Nine to Five: A Sleep Cycle Story

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently? I, like most people in their teens through thirties, have a hard time sleeping.

For the past four years, I’ve been making blog posts. Over that time, I’ve managed to tally up only 75 actual posts to this page. More than 1000 days, and I’ve made 75 posts.

Finding Inspiration in Preparedness

I have found the world to be a confusing place. How is it that in a society where anyone can move upwards from poverty, how is it that so few can do so?
