Living Around The Amish
Hello there! I am a lover on Amish books. Always have been since I was a teen. I never thought in my life that I would be involved with them! I knew that Amish were completely different from what I believe; but lots of people would think I am Amish! Only because I wear skirts and have long hair. Our beliefs are similar but very different. I am going to tell you about true facts about the Amish I live around.

Frank the Christmas Gargoyle
Frank, the Christmas Gargoyle, is, as his name namesake suggests, a gargoyle. Yet the Christmas title wasn’t part of his moniker before December 2019. Frank, a heavy stone sculpture, stood guard on Denise Starr’s porch for three years before a nosy neighbor, we'll call her Karen, began leaving notes complaining that Frank was out of step with the Christmas holiday and demanded his removal. Starr refused and instead doubled down. She topped Frank with a Santa hat, you know, to make him more festive, and added a minature Christmas tree so the Christmas sentiment wouldn't be mistaken. Karen left more notes decrying Frank’s new attire. Starr added friends to stand with Frank including, hippos and a skeleton dog, all dress for the holiday season. When COVID-19 hit, Starr added a plague doctor to the mix.

Meditations on the Human Condition
The philosophers have only interpreted the world. The point, however, is to change it. Karl Marx We have been taught to welcome change and embrace its shortcomings because it would eventually benefit us. The theory of evolution also deals with change. It has been proven, repeatedly and unequivocally, that every living creature has been programmed via its genes to evolve towards a better and higher existence. We therefore know, most often told to believe, that we are constantly evolving. However, when we take the time and make the effort to understand the world as it really revolves, we discover our progress to be so costly that it becomes very clear that we have reached a plateau and even triggered devolution.

The Left-Handed Scissor Saga
Are left-handed people really more creative? While science does not fully understand why some people end up left-handed, 10% of the population is left-handed. Some think genetics, prenatal brain activity, or the environment you grow up in determines handedness. While there may be disagreement on the origin of how you become left or right-handed, I am proud to say that I am left-handed and I am creative. While being left-handed is a unique trait, ask any lefty and they will tell you their struggles. Lefties live in a world built for the majority. Being left-handed might not seem like a big deal, but we have unusual struggles that we unknowingly overcome everyday.

Generation Z – The Trendsetters of Digital Communication
Generation Z grew up with technology and they are good at it. I was once texting my little cousin and he sent me a series of emojis combines in a systematic form. I didn't understand what he was trying to tell me and I am a millennial. Generation Z's way of communicating is a lot different from how we millennials communicate. It almost feels like they came up with their own language with the complex use of ever-growing emojis, text faces, stickers and GIFs.
