Opinion: Is being single better than getting committed?
*This blog is based on my opinion and personal experience. Being single has always been a controversial subject. Some people think it is a curse, while others believe they might miss out on something.

Single people value freedom more and get more happiness out of it
People who are not married have different values than married people do. They care more about expressive and individualistic experiences such as creativity, freedom, trying new things, and having fun. People who embrace those kinds of post-materialistic values, regardless of their marital status, are happier. But married and unmarried people do not benefit equally from such values. People who are not married get more happiness out of the valuing of freedom, creativity, trying new things, and having fun than married people do.

When Will Justice Be Served
The feeling of very uneasy and downright angry about the incidents which occurred over the last week in Louisiana, Minnesota, Dallas, and probably other places that we don’t know about yet. It’s ridiculous that in 2016 we are STILL dealing with racism, police brutality, and a host of other issues in a country that just celebrated FREEDOM on the fourth of July. I guess what people I fail to realize is AMERICA was freed from Britain in 1776 but the people who live in America are not really FREE. We are still bound by the laws and failed justice system which repeatedly allows people to NOT be held accountable for actions that DON’T justify the RIGHT to kill another human being!

Spring blooms (fictional)
This is a work of fiction. Spring blooms signal the start of spring break. Not only is there a whiff of eager anticipation in the air, but there is the sense of wanton abandon and freedom from the constraints of school responsibilities and deadlines and exams and quizzes and projects. Freedom awaits!
