curiosity + consistency is probably all you need.

Unless you're looking to be a world changer .

But there are very few world changers amongst us. And the desire to change "the world" is something we learned on the way. Maybe it was an icky lesson at first so we pretended that...

As somebody working in the info sector , I spend much of my time on a computer. Even if I were to be hyper disciplined and used computer s exclusively for work, the portion of my week spent on computers would still be significant. That's why I prefer physical books...

The email arrived as a surprise.

For the sender had been dead for a year now.

Had they been dead for much longer, it wouldn't have invoked the same fear. He couldn't explain why this was.

I listened and for the...

When she saw his eyes lock onto her instead of anybody else's in that  cafe she knew that she would die.

Each sliver of a moment following felt longer than physically possible.

She had previously feared dying. Certainly she neither expected nor wanted to die this young. But now that the moment...

Welcome to your new home. This is where you will live until you die. Which won't be for awhile.

What? I'm not ready to live where I will die. I wanted to live in other places before then.

Sorry it's too late.

But... will I be happy here?

I can't say.

You won't or can't?

Can't....

I was already too drunk. And the roads were treacherous.

Dane was probably too drunk as well, but when he offered to drive I said, okay let's go.

Sarah Winslett was having a party and it was about ten minutes away in normal conditions. With this snow and the fact that we...

It's when I'm depressed I understand why some people like dogs . 

Usually I'm of the opinion that dog lovers are missing something more keystone in their lives. That they're trying to fill some void with this living, breathing creature that shows you unconditional love. And this coping mechanism if...
