Fountain of Youth

How many of you women would do the same as Ponce De Leon, I mean the tough journey he had with his fellow explorers, just to get rid of wrinkles and avoid asking men Lana Del Rey's famous line, "Will you still love me when I am no longer young and beautiful?" Legend has it, Ponce de Leon was supposedly searching for the Fountain of Youth in Bimini when he and his fellow explorers traveled to Florida in 1513.

Being 'a young person' is not always easy, but having a youthful appearance sure benefited the person, while a 'young at heart person' lives carefree. David Crawford wrote 'Young hearts run free' lyrics. You can tell the song is about an abusive relationship. You can always tell when a lover doesn't put in effort to love the right way. Crawford suggested these lines;

🎵 It's high time now just one crack at life
Who wants to live in, in trouble and strife
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me
I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days.

Eventually, the Spaniards had an unsuccessful journey to the Fountain of Youth. However, the Spaniards safely returned to Puerto Rico with honor and were honored by the king. Appealingly, the 19th century German artist painted the impression of Ponce de Leon and his fellow explorers drinking from a spring in Florida. 'The Contract' made clear that after washing his face in many rivers in 'his' Florida, Ponce de Leon, instead of seeking the Fountain of Youth, decided to drink from a river in Florida, they called it 'Jordan'. 

Maybe, just maybe life explorers nowadays need to find their 'Jordan'. Clearly, that decision had saved many in the past.

Adventure with God

To the mountain, where I can find the fire hole To the valley, where I can look for the water stream To the city, where I can find an exciting job To the cave, where I can find the bats To the grave, where I can find reality To the highway, where I can feel the velocity To the lake, where I can enjoy silence To the big river, where I can feel the danger To the deep blue sea, where I can see the other creatures I am going on an adventure with God.

'Oat' and 'Out'

By
"Son, if the oats finish, we may need to go out!" Said a young mother to her little boy. How do you perceive this line, a sad line? Supposing it is a sad line, yes, they need to go out! Even if it is a happy line, they still need to go out. "Mom, let's go out and pick strawberries instead! The boy responded cheerfully. I learned something from children way of thinking, that we can count on their big picture thinking in hard times or dilemma. Photo source: Unsplash (Photographer: No-Revisions)

X'mas Self Esteem

By
Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer: Sidra Iftikhar) Merry I live in the capital city and don't have a boyfriend. My parents live in another city. I always spend my Christmas days in a boarding house. Thank God I have a few friends who want to join me at church.  Happy I study at college at night and work in the daytime, don't have a boyfriend, my parents have just divorced, and my mom always makes us spend Christmas holiday in a hotel in town. This is how we survive Christmas. Joy I work a full-time job as a waitress in a Chinese Restaurant. I spend my Christmas in a restaurant. I volunteer to work on holiday, because my family is not in this country. My fiancé can not come to see me. The Christmas ornaments are the only festive thing that makes me feel like Christmas day.
