Moreover, grandmothers of students who aren't doing so well in class are at even higher risk - students who are failing are fifty times more likely to lose a grandmother compared with non-failing students. In a paper exploring this sad connection, Adam speculates that the phenomenon is due to intrafamilial dynamics, which is to say, students' grandmothers care so much about their grandchildren that they worry themselves to death over the outcome of exams. ↗

Glory: I look around at this world you're so eager to be a part of and all I see is six billion lunatics looking for the fastest ride out. Who's not crazy? Look around, everyone's drinking, smoking, shooting up, shooting each other, or just plain screwing their brains out 'cause they don't want 'em anymore. I'm crazy? Honey, I'm the original one-eyed chicklet in the kingdom of the blind, 'cause at least I admit the world makes me nuts. ↗

Discovering your worth and deciding who deserves a piece of you are all part of the same journey. One pathway allows you to find yourself and create yourself if you don't like it. The other pathway allows you to see who was there cheering you on the sidelines. From there you choose who to keep in your life. People will walk in and out in your life, some are meant to be there, others not so much. No matter what the case, you learn what is you want and deserve in yourself and others. ↗
