Lupercalia and Valentine's Day, the same?? Lupercalia, as described in the Sabrina series on Netflix, is celebrated at the same time as Valentine’s day. This is somewhat true. It’s indeed celebrated from February 13-15. Lupercalia is an ancient Roman festival that honors Romulus and Remus who were saved by a she-wolf named Lupercal when they were abandoned by their parents. 2 groups of priests, descendants of Romulus and descendants of Remus, will meet in a Palatine cave…

Hello, world!!! It has been days that I've been inactive (again). I'm back working... oh my, am I glad that I am. I've been laid off from work for months because of the pandemic. I just got back to work and I'm super busy with all the things going on right now. Work, homeschooled kids, and the] need to catch up with my sleep. I'm working the graveyard shift, that's why. I feel blessed that I am back working again. Just when I thought that I would end 2020 in misfortune, they…

I want to stop... They say we can all stop the pain we feel inside. That we can control it by thinking positive things, look at the brighter side and still have faith. I don't think that's a fact. I don't think I can get over the pain you caused me. I don't think they understand what pain really is. You hurt me more than a person can bear. The pain is overwhelming that I can't even feel anything other than pain. You killed me inside. I feel like I'm dead but my physical body…

Let me Love you (Part 2) Jena told Hank that she needs to leave unless he starts talking. Hank was then forced to let his thoughts be heard and start talking about what's wrong. Hank faced Jena and held her hand. "There's a big turn of event tonight that I might not know how to live with,' Hank started. "I'm afraid I might lose the one person I love more than anyone else and be left in regret for the rest of my life," he continued while holding Jena's hand. Jena became more…

Eve wasn't Adam's first wife...? Yes. As to what I have learned, Eve wasn't Adam's first wife... The ancient Jewish Myth opposes that Eve was the first woman. They believe that before Eve, Lilith came first. Unlike in the Abrahamic religion belief that Eve was the first woman. We all know that Eve was taken from Adam's rib to be Adam's companion or rather, wife. But Lilith emerged from the same dust and clay as Adam. Lilith didn't want to be dominated by Adam, she did not…

Watched him fall for someone else... The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love someone else. It is never easy. It can be very depressing. I have been friends with him the longest time. We share a bond that no one else can replace. A bond that can't be easily destroyed. A bond that has a connection that only two souls can understand. Or at least that's how I felt. I love him. I don't know how or when it started, I just felt it. So I think that means I love him…

In your love I saw you standing there. You're so breathtaking. Your brown eyes that stares at me melts the ice inside me that was built by someone else. One smile and I can feel my soul melt. Your scent so sweet that reminds me of morning bliss. The way you walk that looks so satisfactory. Your hair that shines through the sunlight. I just want to be with you. I want to get lost with you. I want to run away with you. I want to hold on like this and never let go. I want to…
