13 The Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure visible from space.

According to Snopes, this false" target="_blank" class="inline-link">https://www.snopes.com/fac... fact most likely developed as an attempt to convey the grand scale of the wall. From low space at 180 miles high, the Great Wall is not the only visible object, nor is it the most distinguishable. 

14 Marie Antoinette said "let them eat cake" to spite the poor.

She's long been a loathed symbol of royal decadence for replying to the news that French citizens had no bread in 1789 with the callous phrase, "Let them eat cake." But historians aver that the Queen of France made no such comment.

Equitable Solutions Are Unequal and That's the Point

• Equality doesn't magically lead to better outcomes
• Equal measures require understanding history, context, and cultural relativism
• They also ask us to consider individuals as just that: individual human beings with specific needs and backgrounds
• In theory, equitable solutions and practices have to change as time, society, and the numbers change

Suicide

Why did I do this,
Why did I lie,
Why did I chose that I wanted to die?
I picked up that knife,
And slit up and down,
The blood rushing out,
my life ending fast was a definite doubt,
I swallowed those pills,
I knew the many people that kills,
The taste sour in my mouth,
My breath now was going south,
Slower and slower I began to breath,
Why did he have to leave,
I lay on the floor,
Trying to reach the door,
My screams no one heard,
Not even a single word,
I begged to God,
Don't let me do this,
Don't let me die,
Then for no reason,
I began to wonder why,
I remembered his face,
Oh I want to leave this place,
I crawled out the door,
Blood rushing out more and more,
The trail followed me into the kitchen,
I opened a drawer,
Then everything I used to fear,
Became so clear,
As I held that gun to my head,
I knew in a minute Id be dead,
BOOM...
Standing over my body I began to realize,
That Im not the only person people will try to victimize,
Why did I do this,
Why did I lie,
Why did I chose,
That I wanted to die?

*Angel*

Show me where everything is hidden
When there's no place left to hide
Do you feel like life's a one way trip
And your only there for the ride

When will the pain all go away
When can I let free again
When will the pain all go away
When can I truly love again

What is it that you are trying to show me
Am I missing all the clues
An angel who wants to be happy and free
But right now is just feeling the blues

Can’t I just be happy again
No more worries anymore
Can’t I just love again
Instead of always shutting the door

Let the angel spread her wings
And soar through life free
Without letting her worry
About where the end may be

This angel is going to love again
Something she thought she’d never do
There is nothing that this angel won’t do
Just to always be in love with you

Pressed

Were you thinking of me today
Am i ever what your thinking to say
Do you ever wonder about where i go
Ever wish you were there with me though?
I wonder where you are right now
Am i all alone somehow
No trust in myself
Not looking for help
Just wondering about all the things that were said
Did you mean what you said in my bed
Sorry for putting you there
All i wanted to do was care
Now you are lost and ive gone missing
Was it in my mind you and i were kissing
What have i done did i do it again
Did i fuck it all up to lose another friend
Now can i stop trying
Cause in this house im dying
They give me shit day in day out
All they ever fucking do is shout
Im trying to forgive myself for what ive done
These bruises and cuts have just begun
They settled me down pressed the pain within
Pressed in so deep it broke through the skin
Oh how it burns blood mixed with tears
Of all the pain i held through the years
Im cold weak and lonely
Im not waiting for you to start actin phony
Here we go i take my last breath
Wonder what theyll say now that i left...
