It's embarrassing that we all just walk through life blindly accepting that scrambled eggs are fundamentally associated with mornings.
It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. I wanted to be the last one she loved. And I knew I wasn’t. I knew it, and I hated her for it. I hated her for not caring about me. I hated her for lea...
It seems to me that all the things we keep in sealed boxes are both alive and dead until we open the box, that the unobserved is both there and not.
It is saying these things that keeps us from falling apart. And maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them. The light rushes out and flo...
Islam and Christianity promise eternal paradise to the faithful. And that is a powerful opiate, certainly, the hope of a better life to come. But there's a Sufi story that challenges the notion that p...
Interesting capitalisation, I said.Yeah. I'm a big believer in random capitalisation.The rules of capitalisation are so unfair to words in the middle.
If you don’t live a life in service of a greater good, you’ve gotta at least die a death in service of a greater good, you know?
If only I were as good at life as I am at the internet.
I'm starting to realize that people lack good mirrors. It's so hard for anyone to show us how we look, & so hard for us to show anyone how we feel.

I want to share something Virginia Woolf wrote: 'English, which can express the thoughts of Hamlet and the tragedy of Lear, has no words for the shiver and the headache...The merest schoolgirl when sh...

I thought, lying there, that I might love him for the rest of my life. We did love each other—maybe we never said it, and maybe love was never something we were in, but it was something I felt. I love...
I think about how much depends upon a best friend. Then you wake up in the morning you swing your legs out of bed and you put your feet on the ground and you stand up. You don't scoot to the edge of t...
I stood under the awning for a moment, but finally I decided that being in a bad mood with your friends beats being in a bad mood without them.
