The Homo Sapiens are anything but simple.
Vice and Virtues, freedom and greed, Ego and Hard work... Do they sound oxymoronic in themselves or are these the hand & gloves of the same coin?
What is it to be born rich yet not live it through? What makes us do those things which sound insurmountable from the word 'Go'?
Born in the pre-independence era, here is a tale which speaks of the struggles and virtues, the vice and determination, the troubles and tantrums of one of such homo sapiens.

LOVE IN ALDEN
💫 Evelyn Carter > Evelyn Carter had never lived a life of luxury, but she carried herself like she belonged anywhere. Her family wasn't poor - just careful. Every trip, every new dress, every cup of coffee came with a quiet calculation behind it. But she had something money couldn't buy: warmth. Her laughter came easily, her eyes spoke before her lips did, and her kindness wasn't for show. She had the kind of face people trusted - soft eyes, calm features, the quiet beauty of someone who didn't know how lovely she really was. Evelyn was curious, thoughtful, and sometimes overthinking - a dreamer raised to be practical. Her mother was her safe place, her father her wall of rules. And now, with university days ahead and a new city to learn, she was standing somewhere between who she was and who she wanted to be. 💎 Christopher Sterling > Christopher Sterling had never known a life without choices. He was born into marble floors, vintage cars, and expectations that came dressed as politeness. Money had always been there - like the air he breathed - invisible but undeniable. To most people, he looked like the perfect gentleman: confident, charming, and effortlessly put-together. But underneath that practiced smile was a quiet loneliness - the kind that comes when people see your surname before your face. Christopher wasn't arrogant, just detached - too used to getting what he wanted to know what it meant to earn it. Yet when he met someone who wasn't dazzled by his world - someone like Evelyn - it made him question everything he thought he knew about worth, effort, and love. 💞 Together They were opposites in all the right ways - Evelyn, who found beauty in small things, and Christopher, who was surrounded by everything but still searching for something real. She grounded him; he challenged her. And somewhere between their friends circle and university corridors, they would find that love doesn't ask for balance - it creates it.

With the new technology, many had decided to move on, using e-mails and social media to express what they feel. Having a note in a home compound might be exciting for anyone but not Addison Lore. Those notes were sent to her without fail for fourteen continuous days. Even a red ruby ring. Will she be able to escape the fate she was about to face?

We Eukaryotes
About 1.5 billion years ago, the single-celled eukaryotes became the common ancestors of all multicellular plants, animals, and fungi. Fish evolved a primitive lung sac and four limbs, 350 million years ago, so they could crawl between fresh water swamps. About 250 million years ago, the ancestors of all mammals, were tiny nocturnal insectivores and, about 6 million years ago, we began walking on two legs. The most recent Ice Age (2.6 million to 12,000 years ago), severely reduced rainfall in Africa, where Homo habilis was evolving. In Homo erectus (1.9 to 0.5 million years ago), cranial capacity increased to between 850 and 1000 cm3 implying the phenomenal increase of 125,000 more neurons with each generation. Between 70 and 50 thousand years ago, Homo sapiens spread out from east Africa. Then, about 20,000 years ago, evolution made a sharp change in direction. After 250 million years, we ceased to be hunter gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution meant we could never go back. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Complete

Dark Passions
I have a stalker. I know everyone eventually has one and some are solved over time or through restraining orders. But let's take a moment and imagine this scenario; restraining orders, or anything in that nature, wouldn't solve the problem. There was nothing you can do to be free. This stalker can bounce up and over law boundaries, manipulates others, and the deceiving appearance makes others call you a liar. Even without those, this man is beyond what I now call normal. He's cruel and vindictive, and he puts criminals away for a living. He isn't the average stalker; he's smart. And when I say smart, well, that's something you'll have to see for yourself. I walked right into this dark rift, and for the longest time there was no way out. Until I discovered his one flaw. And that may just happen to be his downfall.Complete
