  Embracing Singlehood: Why I Choose Happiness, Independence, and Self-Respect Recently, I found myself in a rather interesting conversation with a few individuals who seemed to question my life choices. They asked if I'd ever done something embarrassing, insinuating that perhaps I hadn't lived enough to understand certain experiences. Well, let me set the record straight: yes, I've had my fair share of embarrassing moments, but never anything as reckless or repulsive as some of the scenarios they brought up. Let's address the elephant in the room. No, I've never gone to bed with a stranger on the first date, nor have I ever stooped so low as to pick up human feces. Call me old-fashioned, but I believe in exercising better judgment than that. It's called common sense, folks, and it's a valuable tool for avoiding situations that would make you the subject of ridicule or scorn. You might wonder why I'm so passionate about this topic. Well, let me tell you.

Breaking the Mold: Rethinking Education Beyond Standardized Testing Ah, the word "school" – for many, it evokes a sense of dread, while for others, it's a beacon of excitement. But why such a stark contrast? It's time we delve into the heart of the matter. There's a troubling notion out there, one that suggests education is not meant for everyone. It's a mindset that relegates certain individuals to low-paying jobs and tells them to be content with their lot in life. This mindset, rooted in the Industrial Revolution's socioeconomic disparities, seemed to fade with the rise of the middle class in the mid-20th century. Alas, it appears to be making a comeback among today's affluent and can be seen in certain state's public school curricula once again. In far too many states, standardized tests have become the be-all and end-all of education. They dictate whether a student progresses to the next grade, graduates, or even receives proper attention in

Respect in the Art World: A Reminder for Critics and Connoisseurs Let's talk about something important: respect. Just because something isn't your cup of tea doesn't give you the right to be rude, crude, or downright disrespectful. We've all got our preferences; for instance, I'm not into sports gear, and Picasso's art doesn't quite speak to me. And that's okay! Here's the deal: if you don't like something, simply scroll on by. There's no need to unleash your inner troll. And if you're not an artist or a buyer for a gallery or museum, well, your opinion carries even less weight. It's easy to throw stones, but it's much harder to create something truly remarkable. Put yourself in the shoes of the artist whose work you're about to tear apart. How would you feel if someone who couldn't tell a paint brush from a pencil started bashing your creations? Not great, right? So let's all take a step back, check our egos at the do

On Dating I was asked by an oversensitive male or three and a few apparently morally lacking females have never done something embarrassing. Sure I have but never something so stupid or disgusting as going to bed with some dude I don't know on the first date or picking up human feces. I have better judgment than this idiot obviously because (1) I wouldn't ever date offline (2) I'm not trash that goes picking up shit (3) I'm no slut so I wouldn't be going to some dude's house on the first date. Common sense says you don't do any of those and a lot of other stuff so you avoid being a laughing stock or called a whore. Sorry, this female who acted a whore and went to this dude's house on the first date and then played with her shit IS inferior to me and hopefully almost every other person on the planet. You made a crack about me being single. Nice try at shaming me for being happy! Didn't work!! Why would I want to get married? I don't need a ma
