Maps... What's the point we have a phone!

Maps... What's the point, we have a phone! Why maps were created. Maps were created for many reasons, some refined and some economic. For the most part, it allowed people to understand their environment and eventually hypothesise of a distant land. Cartography shapes how we think about the globe and how we see us in it.

The Girl In The Mirror

The Girl In The Mirror  I glanced in the mirror but someone different was starring back at me.

The girl in the mirror didn't have a smile which radiated up the whole room, but I did. The girl in the mirror was curled up in a ball trying to comfort herself while I was standing tall. I looked in the mirror closer, the girl in the mirror was discouraged, empty and she was petrified. How would I know that? Well, deep, deep, deep down inside I was feeling that too. I splashed my face with ice cold tap water. When I looked back at the mirror the girl vanished At that moment I realized that the girl in the mirror wasn't a stranger, I am.
