Pranjali WakdeArticlesafterlife differently, Before I Fall, death and the afterlife differently, death differently, The Midnight Library, Thirteen Reasons Why

Death is always an unpleasant topic – and even the word unpleasant is not enough to describe the overall experience. It is rather self-explanatory when the words associated with death, as well as the afterlife, are overtly negative, i.e. grief, sadness, shock, depression and so on.

By Pranjali Wakde If one is to give an example of the phrase ‘History repeats itself, then it is the 1920s being mirrored in the 2020s. Not only are the depressing events of the century-old decade being repeated, but there are also some stark parallels in the deceptively advanced developments of the two. The 1920s was known as the Roaring Twenties – and roaring, they were. The Great War was recently done with, with the Spanish Flu taking its place in the world. The depressing vibes carried themselves into the 20s, transforming society into an exact opposite of what it…
