16. Where the hell is Robert Fisher?

“He killed his entire family then successfully dipped out without ever being caught.” — novababyy__

17. Why did Napoleon got freaked out by the pyramids?

“Holy shit, this is my favorite historical mystery of all time. Early in Napoleon’s military career he led an invasion force into Egypt. While touring inside a pyramid, he asked to be left alone for a while. When his entourage returned, he was completely pale and looking to be in shock. He did not explain why and demanded that they never mention it again. At the very end of his life he started to finally tell someone what happened, but then stopped himself, explaining that the story wouldn’t be believed anyway. He died without revealing the truth, and unless some unknown diary is uncovered we will never know.

My personal favorite theory is that he saw a vision of Alexander the Great, who had previously led an invasion of Egypt and would serve as a model for much of Napoleon’s career.” — MKorostoff

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
