Gearing Up Your Reading Experience

I often find people uninterested in reading. And if I do find fellow readers, I often hear complaints about reading issues, mentioning that they could read for hours during younger years. This might be a sign that you think it’s a chore and reading inefficiently, and I hope to help you overcome that.

The “Ember” that's a bonfire

Sixteen years have passed since the release of “Saturate”, and like aged wine, Breaking Benjamin's music has matured beautifully. That notion is quite obvious as soon as you listen to the album that came out this year on April 13: Ember.

Untimely Existential Crises

Human emotions are similar to the weather. Sometimes it'll be sunny, sometimes it'll be rainy, sometimes it'll be snowing and then you start wondering why the sky is blue, what the origin of the colour blue is and why Nolan finished Inception on a never-ending cliffhanger (thank you for the countless sleepless nights afterwards).

Being overly honest

The irony is that the saying 'honesty is the best policy' is a lie in itself. A more accurate saying would be 'honestly is the best policy only during opportune circumstances in which it is required'.
