an elaborately meaningless mess (published ~early 2012)

Sometimes I wish from curiosity that I could see the world naked. I wonder what it would be like if I could look at my table without having any concept of a table in my mind, if I could look at a water bottle without having any notion of a water bottle in my head. I imagine sitting here in this chair, looking out the window to my right at these tall rec…

i am a human being (published ~early 2012)

My world became much larger in July of 2007. I spent a month studying in Cambridge, England. But my heightened awareness did not stem primarily from the lectures on British foreign and social welfare policies. These were lessons that could have been packaged and delivered anywhere. It came instead from the serene and relaxed sensation that I felt somewh…

A Pet Kitty, and Progress through Conflict (published ~early 2012)

Over Christmas my family began heaping vitriol upon me at the dinner table because I wanted a pet kitty. For a cluster of minutes, I sat listening to them as they listed a myriad of reasons why cats suck. More than a couple times they informed me that I must not under any circumstances purchase a cat.

my healthy(ish) anxiety (a reaction to "the heart of buddha's teaching" by thich nhat hanh) -- written ~spring 2012

I recently came to believe for a couple days that ceaseless happiness and uninterrupted internal peace (free from anxiety and fear of death) were both attainable and desirable for me. That was after I read The Heart of Buddha’s Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh. The book’s imploration to live in the moment seemed to speak directly to me, since my mind is so o…

I met an old friend the other day, and she told me that if I run into serious financial problems next year, then I will inevitably be unhappy and depressed.💖 snowflakeangelbutterfly 💖 is a reader-supported publication.

confronting my own mortality (published ~december 2011)

I was sitting in my room reading the night I found out Steve Jobs died. And it was the same friend who texted me when complications of esophageal cancer exterminated the mind of Christopher Hitchens (“your hero is dead”) who also sent me a message telling me that the man responsible for the existence of my MacBook Pro was no longer a thinking, rational,…
