Passport renewal might seem mundane, but for Mom Violy and Carmina, it becomes a journey filled with laughter, tears, and unforgettable lessons.

A year ago, Mom Violy told Carmina that her US passport would expire in October 2025. Carmina mentioned she could renew it online, just like she did with hers.

Write Them Off


The friends you have that are in your friend zone does something against you or gives you stress some people write them off from their list of friendship when they feel they are giving you too much stress and don't need to add stress into their life.

We come across from different terms people use when they want to disconnect themselves from our friend's list some use write them off, unfriend, banned and block them from your life for good.

Did you ever look how many friends you have in your contact list on your social media account? Do you communicate with your entire friend's that is on your list?

Do they follow you or like whatever you post on your social media?

Are they even active?

Do you ever check your list of friends and later friend out they have deactivated their account no longer have a face in their profile picture?

Today, I went to look at my contact list that was in my social media I came across a lot of family and friends I no longer have connections from and you wonder why they are still in your list of friends. 

Sometimes you come across not realizing the account you made years ago the remaining friends are no longer active in their account. 

You can also come across from your list of friends they have already passed away years ago.

I've also notice some of my friend's not only have one account but have so many that is under your list of friends.

I removed the ones that was no longer active and kept the same person who had duplicated accounts just annoying to have so many accounts in one person.

Do you really need to have all accounts in your social media?

You get older reaching a senior you tend to write people off when you feel in real person they are the person who does things against you. You come a point in your life you no longer feel you need to connect yourself with them even if your children complain why you need to act that way toward your friends.

In life we get old and we have friends we feel we want to write them off when you feel they get into your nerves.

To be happy is to have a stress free life.
