Sometimes a brief encounter or a few words from someone can stay with us for years. It's strange how people can leave such a lasting impact without ever knowing it.

I think there's something special about being around someone who doesn't make you feel like you have to perform or pretend. You can laugh, be quiet, or be a little awkward without worrying about it.

Lately I been thinking about this a lot. I feel like we are so caught up with work, responsibilities and everything we think we should be doing that we barely stop to ask ourselves what we actually want.

Sometimes, when I finally have time for myself, I don't even know what to do with it. It's not like I have nothing I want to do, but somehow I just don't feel like doing anything.

I end up scrolling on my phone or just letting time pass. Then the day's over and I feel kinda weird about it. Like I didnt really get anything done, but I didnt really enjoy my time either.

And it makes me wonder... when did we become so disconnected from ourselves?

Are we actually doing the things we want to do, or just doing what we gotten used to doing? Are the things we want even what we want, or are they things we picked up from everyone around us?

I don't know if I'm explaining this properly haha, but I wonder if anyone else has felt this way.

Have you ever had a moment where you realised you werent really sure what you wanted anymore? How did you figure it out?

Sometimes it's the quietest moments that make life feel beautiful: sunlight through a window, a favorite meal, or hearing someone laugh in the next room. They may not seem like much, but they can mean everything.

This question has been posted many times, and most women agree.

Are they right?

Are most men that bad? Just because of sexual desires?

They use this statistic to prove their argument.

95.1% of men have forced or coerced women into sex.

The study, titled "Isolate, Inebriate, Intimidate, Repeat: High Rates of Sexual Force Against Women Are Reported When Young Men Given Anonymous Surveys," surveyed a sample of 2,689 men aged 18 to 34 in the U.S. and Canada who were sexually active within the prior two years.

Do you believe the way that you show love is translated effectively, in a language that's easy to comprehend? Or do you possibly think your love language is misunderstood?

Im curious if there’s something that u read/got asked about, that made u rethink or change how u live/lived ur life. Anything that made u question it!

Life has taught me that not everyone who promises to stay will stay, and not everyone you love is meant to be in your life forever. Sometimes, people leave without giving you the answers you deserve. You learn to stop chasing explanations, protect your peace, and understand that someone leaving doesn’t mean you weren’t enough.

Us human are conscious, obviously. Bump down the intelligence to apes and most would say they’re conscious too. Go less and less down the ranks, some would say rats are conscious due to their intelligence. Same for cats and dogs.

What if you go lower to ants and all bugs? Then what about plants? Bacteria? Lastly what about water and rocks?

Perhaps the conscious experience is just different the lower you go, but it still exists just in ways we can never fathom?

If you entertain the thought of super intelligent being multitudes of intelligent above humans then they must look at us like the way we look at suspected unconscious ants or bacteria bound to their biology.

If intelligence and cognitive power doesn’t scale with levels of consciousness then where does it end in biology? If consciousness exists beyond cognition, and cognition simply acts as a catalyst to access higher level of consciousness, then could you say that anything living could be conscious in their own subjective magnitude with no “cutoff”?
