Are Travelhoic and Shopaholic The Same?

Maybe for many people life in the capital city of country very consumtive. Agree or disagree, that is fact. Sale in everywhere, high cost of transportation and social class in peers. So do travelholic and shopaholic. For somebody who titled theirselves as traveler tend to hate mall. I know some shopaholic too, they hate doing an outdoor activity. According them "I am afraid my skin being black !!". Oh God please enjoy the world. This world is sooo beautiful places that you have to see.

Holic is doing something over or addict about something and do it too much. That's meaning as my point of view. When we love something, we feel like happiness and joyness. People call this "Euphoria". Agree or not, socialita or shopaholic who is crazy shoping, when they get good prices of things, they feel really happy, their breath are up and up. Something strange in our body makes our mood in good condition and joy. 

Happiness for traveler, when they are going to many beautiful places, taking nice picture, and their curious is payed by uniqueness of its place. However between traveller there is something gap. Along doing traveling hobby in one year. More places traveler visits, More high their "grade". So does shopaholic. When shopaholic gets many branded things such as bags, watch, clothes, and everything else. More complete their collection, More increase their pride.

Hurry up when sale in mall is coming, shopaholic enter this places. Hunting the cheapest prices, but they want to get best quality. Isn't it irony?. Many people know, really know about rules "There is much money, There is best quality". But why does the shopaholic not realize it?. Because of they blind of price. So does traveler. Traveler is blind of the cheapest price of flight, train, and voucher hotels.

Believe me travelelholic and shopaholic are the same. Same of blindness of price. Although its different way. Simple statement that People should treat their soul to be feel "euphoria". No matter what the way, they want to be feel crazy, find something different, and get experineces bad or good.

The Power Imbalance When a Diplomat Dates You

  I never imagined that I would find myself entangled in a relationship with a man who held the title of diplomat . There is something inherently powerful about that word — a sense of nobility, intelligence, and integrity. For someone like me, who has always prided herself on being independent, educated, and emotionally resilient, the connection initially felt affirming. I thought, perhaps, I had finally found someone who could walk beside me as an equal. But what I didn’t realize at the time was how easily a title can conceal deeper truths — emotional manipulation , power imbalances, and an unspoken hierarchy that slowly erodes one’s sense of reality. Our story began online, like many modern romances. Joel Runnels introduced himself as a diplomat stationed in Central Asia , working in human rights advocacy . From the beginning, our conversations were intense and intellectually stimulating. He spoke about his work with disabled communities, policy reform, and global diplomacy. The...

When He’s a Different Person Behind Closed Doors

  You’ve probably never heard of Joel Runnels PhD — but in certain circles in Minnesota, he’s considered a quiet hero. A legislative affairs director who has dedicated decades of his professional life to disability rights and working for Minnesota Council on Disability , Joel is the kind of man who shows up at public hearings, writes compassionate policy briefs, and speaks with moral authority about equity, justice, and the need to protect society’s most vulnerable. He works closely with the Deaf community , disabled children, and families who rely on state policy to survive. But I knew another Joel. One who existed far away from the polished conference tables and media headlines. One whose mask would fall the moment the doors closed. And I’m finally ready to talk about him. This isn’t an exposé for the sake of revenge. This is my truth — and it’s also a mirror. Because too often, the people we are told to admire and trust the most are the very ones causing silent destruction behin...

When Silence Becomes Complicity: The Ethical Reckoning of Joel Runnels, PhD, and the Institutions That Enabled Him

  This article is a personal reflection and should not be interpreted as a legal complaint or formal accusation. It draws on lived experience and publicly available guidelines to spark conversation about ethical accountability in public leadership roles. 1. Introduction: More Than a Personal Story This is not about romance gone wrong. It’s about institutional complicity, the power of titles, and what happens when ethics fall silent in the face of wrongdoing. Joel Benjamin Runnels, PhD — former USAID officer and U.S. diplomat, now Legislative Affairs Director at the Minnesota Council on Disability — has been linked by multiple women across Ghana, Jamaica, Kenya, and Uzbekistan to patterns of emotional manipulation, abandonment, and misuse of diplomatic status. He now serves in a publicly accountable position funded by taxpayer dollars, advocating for marginalized communities. How did these allegations escape scrutiny during vetting? And what does it say about faith in institutions w...
