What is happening in the world?

Hello my dear Story Time readers from around the world, the last 48 hours have been shocking for the world. I know I certainly was shocked when I heard the news of what happened in Ukraine. It immediately made me anxious. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims. I find it so heartbreaking to know that innocent people have to die because of the decisions and interaction between political leaders from both sides. Why do innocent people have to suffer simply because parties can't find mutual ground? This was the last thing that the world needed. I wanted to write this post to urge the next generation of future leaders to not follow in these footsteps. Let's learn from history each time. With all the things I have been busy with I have learned that good leaders serve their people. We live in stressful times, with the ongoing global climate crisis, a pandemic, and now this. People from around the world are becoming anxious, and that is not healthy for our societies. I don't want to make a lot of comments on the current situation, because I understand that it is a sensitive topic. But the humanitarian in me is bleeding. In a time when the world should be coming together to save our planet, we are falling apart. We are being divided and distracted and this only makes me wonder what is happening to the world? Have our hearts become so cold and cruel or are we so consumed by the material thing that we forget how to live with each other? I don't blame the Russian people, not only because some of you read my blog but because I can relate to what it is like to live in a country and suffer for the decisions of bad leadership. I don't think that what the world needs now is more violence on its plate. But sometimes I wonder why the people who carry out these orders do it? I wouldn't have the heart to enslave myself in such a way that I become a pawn that keeps the system alive. We can't do much about that now, but the next generation of leaders can choose to make a better world. It will be a million times more difficult since we will have to deal with cleaning up a lot of disasters. But if you as the next leaders don't take on that responsibility then who will? We must act now in the best interest of humanity, or else the world won't seem so promising for the next generation. I leave you with these thoughts, my friends, let us all pray in our own ways that the world may see better days. If you want to find a way to help the victims check out what Amnesty International is doing, they are accepting donations at the moment. I wasn't asked to mention them, I am just sharing this information for people that want to help make a difference.

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa Hello Story Time friends, welcome back! I'm taking you along on another vlog. This video was made on a hectic day. I split the content of my adventures into different parts. So make sure you subscribe and stay tuned. There are a lot of stories that I still have to finish. I wish I had more time for my creative projects. But with my lifestyle in Suriname that is not realistic! Anyway, we're going paint shopping in different stores. I visited HJ De Vries, Malhoe's Building Materials, and a Historex retailer. When we were done combing through stores for our project, I was hungry and tired! So we decided to go to Warung Resa. Their Javanese food reminds me of my late grandmother's and aunt's cooking. It's flavorful and authentic. We had the Gudanang and the Long Tong Tahoe. Both are traditional dishes in Javanese culture. Long Tong Tahoe is made with bean sprouts, Tahoe, and chicken. It's then drizzled with a spicy

Green Key Expo At Torarica

Green Awareness Expo At Torarica Hola mi amigos welcome back to a new Story Time adventure! There is a vibrant city in the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest! This city is rich with multi-ethnic culture and flavorful food. Of course, I am talking about Paramaribo. Living in the Amazon Rainforest, we're surrounded by greenery. But these parts of the Amazon Rainforest haven't been unaffected by global warming. The recent droughts where multiple rivers and creeks were empty is an example. The gold mining and wood exploitation that happens in our jungles is affecting the beauty of our land. Protecting the Amazon Rainforest means protecting the lungs of the world. Green awareness is a topic that's often mentioned in this part of the world. Hotel Torarica organized a Green Key fair and of course, I had to visit! Now I can finally share the Story with you guys! Creating these Story Time episodes takes a lot of work. So I'd appreciate it if you subscribe and join our tri

Shadows Of Love

Shadows Of Love Sometimes you must shuffle the deck a few times to be dealt the right hand. And sometimes you meet that King Of Hearts in the first move that the game will demand. In the shadows of love, there are many secrets hidden. Something about you felt familiar, calm, and at the same time forbidden. I wonder what the universe was conspiring when our paths crossed. From a distance, I felt your eyes capture my soul. Maybe this is a story that should never be told! But they say that if you want to enter the paradise of lovers you have to pay the toll! A friend once asked me a question, he said: " What is it you are looking for now that we are getting old?". I told him I wanted someone who could spark my mind, soul, and maybe my inner sexual being. After he exposed the beauty hidden in my poetry, thoughts kept flirting with this hidden feeling. Sometimes we need the right people to ask us the right questions! But sometimes when the ones we hide in our hearts want to kno

Today I have some good news for the people of Suriname. I know I am a bit late with this story, but what can I say. I have been having problems with my Internet provider for a while now. If you live in Suriname, you probably can relate. But on with Storytime, today we are going to talk about the Dongo brothers. These guys have proven that dreams do come true, with a lot of hard work and effort. The World Wrestling Entertainment (W.W.E) has selected Donovan and Leandro Dongo to represent Suriname.

Blogger notes: Happy new year! Storytime in 2022

Happy new year, Storytime in 2022 Hi guys, I want to wish all of you a happy new year. I am learning to stay positive no matter the circumstances. Throughout the years I have become a professional at it. The weird thing is, the better I get at it the better my skills become. I have to say I am proud of myself for getting through last year. There were some painful lessons, as usual. I have come to learn that they are a part of the journey that helps me build my successes. The more I embraced positivity the less my anxiety became. Anxiety can be a messed-up demon, but the warrior in me kind of grew tired of it and decided to stab it. That's the problem when you know how strong you are. The only thing is, I just wasn't in a hurry to grow up. Especially if you grew up in the public eye like I did. But I have no regrets. Because each step that I made in life also led me to beautiful people and beautiful experiences. The more content I feel with my life, the more my inn
