    31_Holocaust Reflections

    TRIGGER WARNING: I go into a bit of detail about the executions that are mentioned within the book. After reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel, I felt compelled to talk about the impact it made on me. I've read a few of these books that refer to, and recount, about the holocaust and I always feel a sense of travesty and gratitude after reading them. I found this book particularly quite confronting and eye opening as it makes you feel like you were there witnessing it for yourself. Grateful that Elie Wiesel had the courage to relive his nightmare when he wrote this book. Note: Apologies for my lack of details about locations and times, I'm not great remembering things like that, but will do better! Here is a blurb from Penguin Book site about the book: "Born into a Jewish ghetto in Hungary, as a child, Elie Wiesel was sent to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This is his account of that atrocity: the ever-increasing horrors he endured, the loss of his family and his struggle to survive in a world that stripped him of humanity, dignity and faith. Describing in simple terms the tragic murder of a people from a survivor’s perspective, Night is among the most personal, intimate and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust. A compelling consideration of the darkest side of human nature and the enduring power of hope, it remains one of the most important works of the twentieth century."

    The Chair (Short Story)

    I've been expanding my creative writing skills and attempting to write short stories! Here is the first one I've completed last year and hope to combine 10-12 short stories into one book. With this story, you step into a moment when a mother passes by her son's bedroom and she is drawn to interact with the chair that he used to occupy most of his time when playing video games with his friends. It's compelling when something that seems so insignificant and lifeless, can hold so much sentimental value when the one's we loved use to interact or cherish it the most.

No longer being held back from his past transgressions, Scott wishes to use his life to encourage others to make better choices before it escalates to becoming fatal.

    29_King Michael Vincent

    In this episode, I've brought on a friend of mine, Michael, who reached out to me wanting to find ways to get his story and message out about self-development/self-actualisation. He touches on a few points in this episode that you may need to come back and touch on after watching it once through. Take your time watching it as well, it may be a lot to take in, in one sitting. Enjoy!

    28_370Z Tribute

    March 20th, 2023: Driving home after grocery shopping, blissfully listening to Kane Brown's album "Different Man" while eating chocolate, completely relaxed believing I was almost home from a long day, but completely ignorant of the fact that this would be the end of my long term relationship with my 370Z.To sum up my experience with this car in one word, it would be: sanctuary. Living with numerous housemates, working at different jobs, making friends and losing friends, this car was the rock between it all. The only time I could completely relax, feel safe, be myself without expectations or obligations was in this car.I never took it for granted. Every time I got in it, I cherished it as if it was going to be my last. Because no one knew when it was going to be our last.

    27_Doing Vs Watching

    "You know, if they did something like this, it would be way better." "There needs to be more events like this." "People need to put more effort in." We've all heard people say things like this before and we sometimes think "Well, if you see something that needs to be done, put up your hand and say that you volunteer to organise doing it." Are you a 'watcher' or a 'doer'? I encourage you to become a doer. Don't just stand there and complain about everything that could be better, or done right, and not do anything about it. Do you want things to be better? Then start doing them yourself and you'll see everyone will follow suit! King Up!

    26_3 Things I'm Grateful My Parents Did

    "What did you think you did right for all your children to still be in church?" This question was asked towards my mum one day and she was telling me her response to this question. I decided I wanted to answer this question from my perspective. There are many reasons of why we're all still in church, but I thought these 3 were the main ones.
