Raymond’s Reality

Our time leaves rapidly and we can't prevent it. Our time is valuable and yet all we can do is kiss it goodbye as implied through figurative language in the poem. We cannot grasp sand which represents the hourglass. That can symbolize time in our life as in how long we have to live and no matter how much we try to save some, our youth leaves us and comes with complications.

Usually, texting or "dm-ing" is more of an unprofessional yet casual way the modern generation gets ahold of people. Messengers used to be the main source of spreading a message to and from a distant land. Nowadays, people will text each other from a couple feet away. Mail is not the same it used to be. From waiting days to receive one or two thoughts back and forth to now not even having to wait a fraction of a second, communication is way more advanced than ever. Is it efficient and practical to text somebody standing in front of you? Probably not, but it seems the more communication is advancing, the more it is receding.

Today I was thinking about how mindfulness affects our bodies. How does simply breathing and taking a minute to yourself change your entire mood and emotion?

I was wondering if for my blog I should post some art. If there is anyone reading this, feedback will be extremely welcome. I am not too sure on what personal stuff I should be posting, so I came across the idea of posting. Here is something I made Dr.Preston.

I want my posts to convey my feelings as well as be able to show the world and the reader what I am capable of doing despite the typical teenage stereotype. Stereotypes are a big factor in how we live. For example, oftentimes men do not think women are strong enough of doing certain jobs but in reality, some women are even stronger than men. That limits the understanding of younger generations in believing in the power of women. I am not a feminist or anything, just an example, and I am just explaining that both men and women can do the same things.

Throughout all my years of making essays, I have retained little knowledge and information I used in my essays. I personally think that writing an essay is not a very effective way of learning. What I used to do was write information as soon as I read it then I would put the information in order. Basically, I made the information flow in order better and then I change up words to a more sophisticated level of vocabulary. This would make my essays sound like I knew what I was talking about although I was only doing it for the grade. My level of knowledge was based on a book I read which has no contribution to helping me out in the real world. Interesting... 🤨
