Why People Can't Mind Their Own Business

-
          I don't know when it happened or why it took me so long to realize it, but people are freaking nosy. You can't so much as mention something remotely interesting to your friend without the crowd getting involved.

Scenario:
Me to friend: Hey, did you hear about Trumps plans to build the wall?
Friend:*about to respond*
Nosy ass person: Yea and...
My thoughts: HOLD UP!!! Last I checked, I was NOT talking to you!

           Now, normally someone butting into a conversation doesn't bug me, because generally, they have something to actually say, valid points, or incomplete thoughts that they'd like to discuss. However, you still have some people who just like to hear themselves talk, or create issues. Those people can walk the other way because their opinions were neither required nor desired.

            I do understand though. Humans are curious creatures. Besides being unusual, we have a strong desire to know or learn. People are curious because they are constantly seeking knowledge. There are so many things we would be without right now if it wasn't for curiosity, or awesome accidents.

         Curiosity is not a bad thing. In fact, there are surprising benefits to curiosity. It helps us survive, makes us happy, boosts achievement, expands empathy, strengthen relationships (unless your boo has been looking into why you haven't been answering their texts), and overall improves healthcare.

           Point being, don't worry about being nosy(but please, if you must speak, add something important to the conversation, not stupidity). You can annoy someone all you want. At the end of the day your curiosity is fed, and you have what you wanted. Knowledge is power.



Until next time,

                                                           Random thought.                                                                                  Suicide is not just on TV.              Life has officially become a real Romeo and Juliet story. Thoughts like "I can't have what I want” or “Things aren't going my way so I will kill myself" directly influence the attitude of so many teenagers or young adults born between 1994-2005, also known as Generation Z.              While suicide has always been a real problem in the world, the frequency of Gen Z's suicide attempts has been increasing drastically. According to an article from Newsweek , "between 2005 and 2017, the rate of 12 to 17 year-olds who experienced a major depressive episode... rose by 52%." The worst part is that it doesn't look like it's going to get better any time soon. So what is suicide? Suicide is taking your own life. Several factors come into play when

Surprising Benefits Of Washing Dishes

Here's a random though.                                   People hate washing dishes.     You come home, see a stack piled high and you dread the moment when you finally have to give in and get to cleaning.     Unpopular opinion, I think those people are crazy. Quite frankly, washing dishes is probably my favorite chores, followed by vacuuming and bathing animals. Its so calming (so long as you're not rushing to do them or your mom didn't just yell at you for 2 hours to get them done).    Think about it really quickly. (If you're actually going to do what I say, have someone read this to you or listen to the podcast version I produced of this blog). Close your eyes, imagine the warm/hot water running down your hands. The Dawn, or whatever dish soap you use, being poured onto the sponge, squishing the sponge, feeling the angles and turns of all the dishes you have. The satisfying feeling of making a greasy Tupperware squeaky clean. Look, if this isn't convinc
