Researchers have posited that they may have identified the fabled city of Atlantis following the discovery of a substantial complex of ancient pyramids located off the coast of Mexico. These structures, observable via Google Earth, are situated in proximity to historically significant Mayan and Aztec sites, with dimensions ranging from approximately 3.5 to 11 miles in width. This finding indicates the potential existence of an ancient civilization, or possibly phenomena of extraterrestrial origin. Such developments raise the question of whether this site could indeed represent the long-lost city of Atlantis.

"Later" becomes "too late."

- Talk to you later.

- I'll call you later.

- See you later.

- We'll walk later.

-I'll tell you later.

We leave everything for later, but forget that "later" does not belong to us.

Later, our loved ones are no longer with us.

Later, we don't hear them and we don't see them.

Later, they are just memories.

Later, the day becomes night, the force becomes helpless,

the smile becomes a grimace, and life becomes death.

"Later" becomes "too late."

When you remember me,

it means that you have carried something of who I am with you,

that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are.

It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us.

It means that if we meet again, you will know me.

It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.

For as long as you remember me,

I am never entirely lost ..

"Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

It matters that you don't just give up."

If you ever get the chance, go alone. Walk alone, travel alone, live alone, dance alone. Just for a while. If you ever get the chance, learn who you are when the world isn't demanding you be one way or another.

Most people only know how to stand on their own if someone else will stand beside them. Don't let that be your story.

When you get the chance, know that the opportunity to walk alone, even for a bit, is a rare gift, one that will hand you insight that can change the course of your life.

Just wanna sit and relax here with someone and talk about life.

I saw a post earlier with a set of hinged stairs. These were the stairs in my old house in St. Louis, Missouri. Installed in the 1940s by a company called the St. Louis Stair Co. They’re counterweighted so no prop is necessary to hold them open. They were installed so that people living in upstairs apartments could access the basement without going outside. We actually met the daughter of the man who owned the company and patented these stairs, she helped install ours.

I can still remember the time when I begged for love. I lost my colors. I settled for the "maybe", the "I'll see if I can" and the "I'm tired". I endured the pain of every no, and over time I started to believe that maybe, just maybe, that's what I deserve. That I should just be grateful for the rare "yes" and just sit in the corner waiting.

It took some time, but when I finally realized that I'm slowly turning into this broken soul I always feared to be, I tried my best to get up and walk away. Step by step, I dragged my feet, and that's when I learned that one of the most difficult things to do in life is to walk away from things that you've always wanted. But I did it.

I did it because every day seemed like it's raining and I wanted to see the sun again. I did it for the days when I would laugh so hard my stomach would hurt. I did it because I wanted to believe that despite the messed up person that I am, despite all the scars and the holes in my chest, I deserve another shot at happiness.

I know it took a while, but I couldn't be prouder.

I did it.

"Notice the term resonance comes from the Latin verb 'resonare,' meaning to "return to sound". It means to sound and resound, as in an echo. The point of existence is to activate and resonate with the core template embedded in DNA. Every human being is an antenna and tuning fork for energies coming from the Great Central Sun. The more we live in integrity with true nature, the longer lasting and more expansive the experience of resonance, the more conscious and frequent synchronicities appear, and the more ecstatic we are as musical notes moving up the cosmic scale. Our language is full of plays on words that resonate. "Being in tune with true being" is being "on the same wave length" as what really matters. It’s why silence is the loudest voice that aligns everything to the tone of deepest being when one is ready to listen." - Liara Covert

Children from a very young age should be taught that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. That if you point your right hand to the East, your face will face North and your back will face South.

That the direction of the water in a river often runs towards the sea. That the Moon rises in the East and sets in the West, that if there is no moon there is a star that indicates the north and your latitude. That the more to the horizon you see the Polar Star, the closer you are to the Equator, if you see a bird in the middle of the sea it is because there is land in the vicinity of where it flies.

Respect and love for animals, trees, the earth, and the elements that give us life.

Teach them all this before giving them a cell phone because the cell phone runs out and the signal is lost... wisdom is never lost.

Let's not let them lose connection.

Accept The Situation And Move On~

It sounds simple, but it’s one of the hardest things to do. So many of us get caught up in denying what happened, replaying scenarios in our minds, wishing things had turned out differently. But here’s the truth: the longer you resist reality, the further you distance yourself from the present moment and the possibility of moving forward. To live fully, you have to accept what is, no matter how painful or difficult, and let go of the idea that it could be any different.

Acceptance doesn’t mean you’re happy with the situation or that you agree with what’s happening. It simply means recognizing reality for what it is and understanding that no amount of wishing or overthinking can change it. Too many people get caught up in the “how” or “how it should be,” keeping themselves locked in a cycle of approval. In doing so, they lose touch with the present and with what they can actually control—how they respond to the situation and how they move forward.

When you refuse to accept reality, you’re fighting a battle you can’t win. The situation has already happened, and no matter how hard you hold on to it, the past cannot be changed. By holding on to what might have been or what you wish was different, you remain stuck, unable to grow or heal. Acceptance is the key that unlocks the door to freedom—freedom from dwelling on the burdens of the past, freedom from self-inflicted suffering, and freedom to embrace the future with a clear mind and an open heart.

Moving on doesn’t mean forgetting or pretending it never happened. It means acknowledging the situation, feeling whatever emotions come with it, and then making a conscious choice to no longer let it define you or your future. It’s about deciding to focus your energy not on what’s behind you, but on what’s ahead.

Too many people are out of touch with reality because they can’t accept what is. They build stories about how things “should be,” how others “should” act, or how life “should” unfold. But these mental constructs only lead to disappointment and disillusionment because they’re based on expectations that don’t align with the reality in front of them. The more you resist reality, the more you suffer. The more you accept things as they are, the more peace you’ll feel in your life.

Acceptance isn’t about giving up or being passive. In fact, it takes incredible strength and courage to look at a difficult situation and say, “This is what it is.” It’s about understanding that while you can’t control everything that happens to you, you can control how you respond to it. When you accept a situation, you take back your power. You shift from a mindset of resistance to one of resilience. Instead of getting caught up in a narrative that no longer serves you, you begin to focus on what’s next—on healing, on growing, and on creating a future that reflects your strength and wisdom. The way forward is through acceptance. Life will always present challenges, and not everything will go according to plan.

But by accepting a situation for what it is, you free yourself from unnecessary pain and frustration. You allow yourself to step back into the flow of life, where you can respond with clarity and purpose. Acceptance is the first step toward moving on, and moving is about how you reclaim your future. It’s about letting go of the need to control everything and trusting that, despite the difficulties, you are capable of navigating whatever comes your way. When you accept a situation, you adjust to reality and open yourself to new possibilities, new perspectives, and new opportunities for growth.

So when faced with a difficult situation, be at peace: accept it. Don’t fight it, don’t overwrite it, and don’t get caught up in what might happen. By accepting reality as it is, you find peace, and in that peace, you can begin to move forward with strength and brightness. The future is waiting—let it go, and step into it.

I HAVE BECOME A PERSON WHO LOOKS AT MYSELF ~

It took me a long time to understand that no matter how much I explain my side, some people will twist it to fit their narrative. I used to pour my heart out, desperately hoping they would see the truth, but I’ve learned the hard way.

If someone really wants to understand, they won’t ask.

If you’ve decided that I’m the villain in your story, that’s okay. I’m not going to keep bending over backwards trying to prove that I’m good enough, worthy enough, or innocent enough.

In fact, the more I explain, the more power I give to someone who doesn’t want to hear it.

Let them believe what they want.

Let them say it’s all my fault.

Let them stay stuck in their version of events.

Let them!

I’m not going to defend myself anymore. Because I’ve realized something important – explaining myself over and over again doesn’t bring peace. It’s just exhausting. It only reinforces their narrative, because if they really wanted to understand, they would have listened in the first place.

I am recharging my energy.

I am stepping away from the endless cycle of justification and argument.

I deserve a connection where I don’t have to fight to have my truth seen.

If my silence makes you uncomfortable, don’t be uncomfortable.

If my choice not to explain feels like a defeat to you, that’s up to you.

I don’t care anymore about trying to win a battle I never agreed to fight.

I am done begging for understanding.

I am done begging for the kindness, respect, and empathy that should be freely given.

I am done putting myself on trial that was unfair to begin with.

The only explanation I have is for myself: that I chose silence over their resentment.

I choose to move forward without the burden of continuing to try to be heard by people who are committed to misunderstanding me.

Let them think what they want.

Good for them.

I will not explain myself anymore. So, frankly, I don't need to.

When the Titanic sank, it carried millionaire John Jacob Astor IV. The money in his bank account was enough to build 30 Titanics. However, faced with mortal danger, he chose what he deemed morally right and gave up his spot in a lifeboat to save two frightened children.

Millionaire Isidor Straus, co-owner of the largest American chain of department stores, "Macy's," who was also on the Titanic, said:

"I will never enter a lifeboat before other men."

His wife, Ida Straus, also refused to board the lifeboat, giving her spot to her newly appointed maid, Ellen Bird. She decided to spend her last moments of life with her husband.

These wealthy individuals preferred to part with their wealth, and even their lives, rather than compromise their moral principles. Their choice in favor of moral values highlighted the brilliance of human civilization and human nature.

In 1928, Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello conducted a significant excavation in the Paracas desert peninsula, where he discovered a complex burial site that contained over 300 elongated skulls, now referred to as the Paracas skulls. These cranial specimens, some of the largest documented to date, are estimated to date back nearly 3,000 years. Situated in the Pisco province of Peru, this archaeological finding has captivated researchers and incited various discussions regarding ancient cultural practices. The presence of these elongated skulls raises questions about the societal norms and rituals of ancient civilizations in the region, and this enigma continues to engage both scholars and enthusiasts within the field.

Behold the Saqqara Bird, a mind-boggling find unearthed in an Egyptian tomb that could give modern gliders a run for their money. Crafted around 200 BCE, this enigmatic artifact begs the question: Did the ancient Egyptians possess a secret understanding of flight? Was it a mere symbol, a daring experiment, or a clue to a deeper, fantastical truth buried beneath the sands of time? Dig in and uncover the ancient riddle of the skies.

St. Michael's Mount, located off the coast of Marazion in Cornwall, England, is a captivating tidal island steeped in history and myth. At low tide, a causeway emerges, allowing visitors to walk to the island; at high tide, it becomes inaccessible, adding to its mystical allure. Crowned by a medieval castle and a charming village, the island is dominated by the striking silhouette of the castle, which dates back to the 12th century.
