GREEN SUNSET (Aurora Borealis Green)

Hi, I'm Sam,  Some may argue that the expectation of something makes the emotions less intense, which is probably the reason why so many people will admit that they love surprises, because they have no other choice but to react in the most genuine way possible for them. It is a fact and I know that the sun sets every single day in my region, at this point it is something I expect to happen but I don't look out for it, I only take note when it delays or probably doesn't happen which I have never experienced. Because I expect it to happen, I'm no longer fascinated by it. One of the hills I will gladly die on is that, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. There's no manual to it, you only react to the exact way you feel and depending on your emotional strength, you can suppress some emotions and control your actions. In several cases, no one plans for death, so all you have to do is react to it. You don't get to pick when and who it happens to, so you'r...

LOVE FINDS YOU

Hi, I'm Sam, The exciting feeling of butterflies often felt as a result of a new prospect or talking stage starts to fade earlier than anticipated. As a matter of fact, you don't expect the feeling to stop being exciting because with different persons but same expectations comes the feeling and because you never plan to feel that way, you expect it to always be there either with the same person or a completely different person. With some expectations comes the excitement of talking about yourself while realizing that you are not the same person you were few years ago, with each new person comes different likes and dislikes, hobbies, favorite colors and activities. Unknowingly, you respond and program yourself to seem compatible in the moment. No one has ever seen red flags so early when you still feel the excitement during talking stages or you see it but think its something you can tolerate or change until you get over that excitement and start living with a sense ...

MY FIRST CHANCE AT IMPRESSING

Hi, I'm Sam,  As the resident overthinker, I am here to say that  someone who has zero business with overthinking can fall victim to overthinking when it comes to making the best first impression. The chances of falling victim to overthinking becomes a tad bit higher If you are someone who has knowledge of how you're perceived by people from afar, you can try to not prove those people right especially when the perception is completely wrong and negative but truly everyone gets only one chance at making a first impression but I do not think first impressions are as important as we tend to make them out to be because it turns non overthinkers to overthinkers amongst other things. First impressions will always go the way they're meant to no matter how much we try to weave it to be. Some can see through the act to see and love the real Indentity without help. The first impression will end up meaningless if the thought of curating the perfect person for the moment wa...
