Everyone needs a hobby… something to occupy the hands… to stop the mind from thinking so much…

I have Capoeira, what do you have?

Euphoric recall is a way in which cocaine addicts “romance the high” by remembering and exaggerating the pleasurable experiences of past cocaine use, while blocking out painful and unpleasant aspects of the memory.

Euphoric recall, not just for cocaine addicts.

Break-ups are hard. Recovering from the break-ups are even harder. It’s funny how it changes if you’re the one who said the last word, one might think it gives you the high ground so it doesn’t hurt that much.

Anyways, I recently just heard this and thought it was funny/interesting.

Story based on myths, faith, pure spirituality, and my poor knowledge.

History and certain religions have taught us about angels; spiritual beings among the Heavens that act as messengers of The Lord, as well as protectors and guides of all living beings.

- Hey! Wake up wake up. I said. – Talk to me. Remember how we met? You gave me such a hard time. Remember? Why wouldn’t you, you were the most popular girl in school right?

- Liar, hehe! *cough*.

- Oh come on… – Then I stared away into the horizon. Nothing but silence. – …you had a bunch of guys always trying to get to you, that’s why I always thought I would never had a possibility with you. That didn’t stop me though.

So there I was, staring, trying to keep a straight face. That’s what you are supposed to do, right?

So, I got asked not long ago something everyone asks out loud at some point in his or her life.

“Why does everything have to cost money?” – This very dear person asked.

Evidently this question is always held in a rhetorical form as most of us think we know the answer or at least have a vague idea of what to respond when asked that.
