Is such a thing as an Emerald made worse than it, was if it is not praised?

All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike
“All is ephemeral — both memory and the object of memory. The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you.

Being a Judgemental Person
For a long time, being labelled as judgemental is something I’ve avoided, as you were seen as insincere, small minded, and apathetic.

If I have a judgement, does…

So I was watching an inspirational video by Oprah, as everyone does, and I came across one of her quotes “Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.” Now I feel like this quote is so different than all the follow your heart or follow your dreams quotes…

“Sometimes you need to make the wrong decision multiple times, so you can finally make the right one”- Anna Akana
I’ve made bad decisions. Are they disastrous, abominable, preposterously horrific? No, they’re bad decisions. Now I don’t really believe in regrets in life. I believe the decisions we make teaches us lessons and makes us the people that we become in the future. So are decisions actually bad, or are they just decisions that lead…
