The unforeseen

"Life is a series of surprises, and while we may not always get what we expect, it's the unexpected twists that make the journey worthwhile."
The rollercoaster 🎢of surprises—ever thought about it? We’re all just cruising along, thinking, “Hey, I’ve got food🍲, water💧, a roof over my head—life’s good enough.” But then, bam! That big surprise we’ve been secretly dreaming about finally shows up. Suddenly, it's like, “Oh, who am I kidding? I need that thing!” And before you know it, you're ready to do whatever it takes to make it yours. It’s like being on a ride where you thought the drop was over, but nope—there’s another twist coming!

Imagine a flower going about its day, completely unaware it's about to be the star of a bouquet. Or water just chilling, oblivious to the fact that without it, humans would be seriously parched. Life’s a wild ride, packed with surprises at every corner. Any day could be the best—or, well, not so much. People say, "Keep your expectations low, and you'll be happier," but who are we kidding? You can't just shut them off. I mean, we all expect to wake up every morning, right? That’s a pretty big expectation!
 Now, picture a kid suddenly drowning in a mountain of ice cream, without even asking for it. For that kid, it's like hitting the jackpot—the ultimate, sweet surprise they didn’t even know they were waiting for!

From ignorance to "Oh crap!" In 60 seconds

"Ah, the golden days of blissful ignorance! Back when 'because Mom said so' was just a suggestion, deadlines were mythical creatures, and my parent's wise advice went in one ear and did a celebratory conga line out the other. Good times! Now, suddenly, all that 'wasted' time I was so busy not valuing, has mysteriously vanished. It's like my personal time bank ⏳️🏦 got robbed by the Responsibility Bandit! Now I'm over here dramatically weeping into my empty schedule, realizing that apparently, time isn't just a suggestion either. Who knew?! 🤔Turns out, that ticking clock🕑 wasn't just a fancy wall decoration after all. Live and learn, I guess... mostly learn the hard way, with a side of existential dread and a newfound appreciation for the concept of 'yesterday'."

Beauty -Through a Different Lens: The Mursi and Suri Lip Plate Tradition🎭

What is beautiful? For the Mursi and Suri tribes of Ethiopia (african tribe), beauty isn't about trends or what's in a magazine—it's a clay plate. This centuries-old tradition involves stretching the lower lip to wear a distinctive lip plate. Far from a simple accessory, the reasons behind this practice are deeply woven into their culture. While a widely circulated theory suggests it began as a way to make women less desirable to slave traders, this has been largely dismissed by modern anthropologists. Instead, the lip plate is a powerful expression of a woman's social status, identity, and personal worth. The size of the plate is often linked to the dowry paid in cattle for a marriage, with a larger plate signifying a 1greater value. It's also a rite of passage, marking a girl's transition into womanhood and her eligibility for marriage👰‍♀. The Mursi and Suri lip plate tradition challenges us to look beyond our own perceptions and see beauty as it...
