He he E!
I am the first on earth,
And second in death
I live in the middle of the sea,
Yet you’ll always find me with glee!
I am in your cup of tea,
Why, even in your coffee!
Yes, you can find me in every place,
Even in your dinner plate!
No, I am not hard to seek,
You’ll find me twice in a week!
Now close your eyes and guess me,
Yes, I am the letter E!
On loneliness.
I think I’ve typically been an introverted person. I keep things to myself most of the time. Over the past weeks, I’ve seen a different kind of being alone. I’ve always been surrounded by people, which always keeps me pumped but over time, though I’ve been surrounded by people, it’s made me wonder. Typically based on my personality or do I make people happy.
Sometimes, you just feel like you’d like to distance yourself and have your own space. Lately, I’ve been feeling much of this divergent emotion. It leaves me in curiosity and anxiousness anticipating what sort of a person I am. Perhaps, what do I value in life or something I possibly show passion or talent in.
It’s really all in my head, I need to snap out. In consideration, why am I observing this? Is it because of the condition I am in? That makes me wonder, exactly why, just why?
If I can’t be happy being surrounded by joy everyday, it’s just me overthinking. As I wonder of how do I make myself feel better, still, emotions symbolise your inner self.
There’s a spark of a sense of calmness and that’s all I need. I need to relish or appreciate who I’m surrounded by or what revolves around me.
On This Day: June 4th … Strange Holidays
Hug Your Cat Day
National Doughnut Day
Old Maids Day
National Safe Day
This should be good … grinning.
Hug Your Cat Day
The intention is not for the day to be complicated or over thought. Quite simply, it is a day in which cat owners everywhere are encouraged to hug their cats. It’s an opportunity to give back to all the cats in the world and shower them with love and attention. The more dedicated amongst them will not need this encouragement, of course, but it is always good to be reminded of our feline friends. While a cat owner may love his or her cat immensely, it’s easy to forget to show a furry friend how much love there is to go around when managing a busy schedule and family. It’s best to start by petting the cat softly and having it warm up before going in for a hug. Be gentle and approachable, so the cat is more likely to welcome the embrace.
National Doughnut Day
Many people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day, celebrating the doughnut and honoring the Salvation Army Lassies. The Salvation Army Lassies are the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI.
In 1917, the original “Salvation Army Doughnut” was first served by the ladies of the Salvation Army. It was during WWI that the Salvation Army Lassies went to the front lines of Europe. Home-cooked foods, provided by these brave volunteers, were a morale boost to the troops.
The doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers. American infantrymen were then commonly called “doughboys.” A more standard spelling of the word is “donut.”
And get this—as of June 1st of this year, Krispy Kreme has made being vaccinated against COVID-19 a whole lot sweeter — since it first announced it would give vaccinated Americans a free doughnut every day this year, more than a million people have taken them up on the deal.
On Tuesday, Krispy Kreme announced that it has shown its "sweet support to those doing their part to protect themselves and others" by giving free doughnuts to over 1.5 million Americans who have presented a valid vaccination card at participating locations.
Vaccinated doughnut lovers can continue getting a free Original Glazed doughnut every single day through the end of 2021.
And the company is doubling down for National Doughnut Day which is November 5th.
Old Maids Day
is a joyous occasion for spinsters around the world to get together and rejoice in one-another’s claim to the merry, carefree lifestyle and the complete independence which come with singlehood. And it should be, because marriage, childbearing and child rearing are enough to gradually rid a woman of all the spare time, money and vitality she may have had in those early years when she was as averse to men’s advances as a fox is to a porcupine sting.
This annual fête brought single women and men together at dance socials in some of the world’s most advanced cities as early as the ’30s, and is a tradition that has been carried on to this day, although large dancing festivities are less common nowadays. Back then, Old Maid’s Day gave unhappy single women the chance to meet their soul mates or fall head over heels for the wrong man and waste a few more precious years. Either way, being an old maid was frowned upon, so some women jumped at the chance to pretend to want to get married.
Today’s women celebrate by getting together, drinking Old Maid cocktails, eating Old Maid cake, playing the Old Maid card game, listening to the ‘Eleanor Rigby’ song by The Beatles, and generally enjoying their spinsterhood while it lasts.
“I find men terribly exciting, and any girl who says she doesn't
is an anemic old maid, a streetwalker, or a saint.”—Lana Turner

Excerpt#1
“How do you cope?” the judge asks you.
Looking into the judge’s eyes you speak, “Do you have any regrets?”
“No” he replies.
“Yeah me either,” you say with a bitter laugh.
The Judge looks at you with distaste. With his gavel raised his voice rings out in the silent courtroom. “I hereby sentence you to death by hanging, for the murder of 64 innocent people.” His cold eyes never leaving yours.
“Thank you.” You tell the judge with a hint of a smile.
“For what?” He grits out. He seemed frustrated by your reaction.
“For giving me something of my own. I’ve never had anything, so I took and took. But you have given me something, even if it’s death.” You chuckle a bit. “When that rope is around my neck, I’ll be jumping on my own, not pulling at the rope. And no one will stop me, you want to know why?”
You could practically see steam pouring from the judge’s ears as he spoke, “Why?”
“Because I’m rotten to the bone,” you say, your smile growing just a bit bigger.
“Death is too good for you.” The judge spits out.
A bittersweet taste fills your mouth as you look down, a full-blown smile on your face, “Death is my friend.”
