“Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.” ― George Carlin It is sometimes hard for me to relate to other people’s situations because of the “unconventional” life I […]

There’s a word I recently learned and it’s called, “Animus.” Animus is Latin for spirit, mind, courage. When I think of Animus, I think of the ancient Romans, Spartans and Greeks.
