We're used to the characteristics of social media - participation, connection, instant gratification - and when school doesn't offer the same, it's easy to tune out.

With writing, I can express myself, really, and share my ideas and just let my thoughts flow out.

If I had my way, I'd end all wars and poverty. We should all be more aware of what's going on in the world around us and less ignorant.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

I don't go down the road of condemning.

I'm a working stiff, baby, just like everybody else.
