Long Time Coming
So, there I was. A place I had never been before, surrounded by people I had no acquaintance with, and a small wish placing me firmly in a seat next to the foosball table. You see, I had not played foosball in nearly two decades, and I distinctly recall late into my elementary school days…

One Smile at a Time
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? Smile more often. It feels as if sorrow has worn deep ruts into my physiology, and smiling for longer than 5 seconds at a time requires dedicated effort. The energy involved in smiling quickly caves in, but perhaps this improvement can make it more stable

Travelling
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. I don’t regret travelling the summer of 2016 with my girlfriend at the time and bringing my relatively new smartphone. We did a long road trip in an old car with well over 200,000 miles on it through the United States from the west coast…

An Answer
Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. Trying to find an answer on how to live is annoyingly unsatisfactory. No matter what answer seems to offer a sense of completion for some period of time, it eventually fades away, and the change somehow feels easier to navigate than it did before. Clinging…

Smartphone
The most important invention in your lifetime is… It’s the only answer that makes any reasonable sense.

Time Without Me
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life? As time passes, I seem to be getting more closed off to the world around me. I find myself grasping onto work as my sustenance, while interactions with other people becomes increasingly tedious. Shame is my constant companion that both…

GP
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable? It means being with my one true love and, when she lets go or I run away, we always come back home to each other. To some degree, it has already been attained, but in so many important ways, it has not. I believe…

Water
What is your favorite drink? I don’t have a drink that is my favorite. Most of the time, I drink water, or on some occasions I will drink soda or juice. Caffeinated drinks I can only drink in the morning unless it is green tea with company. Perhaps, then, water is my favorite drink. In…

Nap Time
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? Honestly, I love to sleep. That’s what I was doing before writing this post in the middle of the day. If only naps were as culturally accepted as wherever the phrase siesta became popular… In any case, sleeping is enjoyable for me.

AT&T Stadium
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting. Home of the Dallas Cowboys. I haven’t been living in Texas for very long, and I don’t watch football, so it’s not high on my priority list to go. A quick look on Google shows a picture of an…
