Similar to a lot of you reading this, I love history. It’s often comforting to know our forefathers endured challenges that many of us alive today have never had to deal with… Specifically in the U.S, we have never had to witness a full scale attack similar to what the United Kingdom and other European…

As I sit down to write about my love for history, I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of excitement and nostalgia.

I know it’s morbid, but do you ever wonder what the world will be like when you are not around? What happens to you when you go to sleep or cease to exist? Is there a hidden world that exists parallel to our own? Maybe dreams give us a glimpse into this parallel universe. Think…

As you know from a previous post, Facebook is paying content creators to make reels… It’s really pretty neat. I just happened to stumble onto it when I was repurposing content from other projects… I created some of them myself and a lot of them I hire others to do it for me…. It’s great…
