blogspot just suddenly decided to pop up in my mind while I was studying?? (this just shows that I wasn't really studying lol) 

Every nation has hidden history, countless stories preserved only by those who experienced them. Stories of war are often read and discussed worldwide by readers whose nations stood on opposite sides during battle. History divided us, but through reading we can be united in story, study, and remembrance. Books join us together as a global reading community, but more important, a global human community striving to learn from the past.                                                                                                                                 —Ruta Septetys

Should I take chinese classes? I am bilingual but I can't translate some of the smallest or specific things without a translator. Even if I do take chinese classes, I'll end up learning either cantonese or mandarin. I can speak both, but I feel like I'm not fluent enough in either of those dialects. I don't think I should waste my money on taking chinese classes at my college, because those are for true beginners. I might as well just live in China for about five years before becoming genuinely fluent. Hell, I don't understand why I am a Cantonese Interpreter in the first place, I feel like I'm not qualified enough. Do this company just hire random people who just speak another language without any certification? Because das me, and I don't even know why I'm still hired. God I'm really stressing ya'll 

Do not damn a race for the deeds of a few bad apples.

When you care for someone, you wish them the best. But why do sometimes you give your all for someone and help them, they don't listen? You know it is wrong, yet you still look back. When I help you, I don't expect anything in return, I just wish you are happy and not restricted in this toxic life of yours. 
I hope that happiness goes out to every individual, and make the best of life as much as you can. If you feel something is wrong, then it is time to put it aside. It is easy to fall into traps, but if you fall into it, please get out of it. Don't be afraid to seek help. Reluctance is normal, that is why you can rely on others around you. A true friend is not just someone in the crowd.

I wish you the best.

Men will argue more philosophically about the human heart, but women will read the heart of man better than they do. It is women’s role to form an experimental morality, so to speak, and to reduce the study of man to a system. Women have more wit, men have more genius; women observe, men reason. The two together give us the clearest light and the most perfect knowledge that the human mind is capable of attaining unaided.
