The second pour over was so good that he decided to order a third. That was his decision. He would do what he wanted. The only thing that stopped him was an outside force. A man in a suit gently tapping his shoulder. The man in the suit was not...

Thinking
The thing you know you want to say is probably the thing you will write most poorly about.
The thing you don't know yet but feel is the thing that will come out best.
At the deepest level writers don't enjoy the craft because it allows them to express. That is a...

She showed up to town a day early.
This surprised me. I was used to her being fashionably late wherever she went.
Final Friday, some no name party at a no nameΒ cafe out in the middle of nowhere. Why did she come out such a way for this?
She drove herΒ Subaru...

Reasons for writing
After writing a whole lot into my notebook and then tweeting a bunch I came to this page and i didn't know what to write about. That's when it came to me... I should just not write now. I should write later.
So i closed this tab and went to check...

How things go
There was a bar. Outside of town. Just beyond city limits technically; this allowed them to avoid a few laws or something like that. But nobody gave a damn about that and they called this their favorite bar in town.
It was my favorite bar in town. In fact it was...

Discovery
Writing is easy when it's an action of discovery.
It becomes difficult when it becomes the task that follows discovery.
Then it just a matter of time before we lose the willpower to write.
We like to cast people as superficial. As base creatures who want nothing more than recognition.
But if they wanted...

Discovery > documenting > announcing
Announcements are dangerous.
We make them, then wait eagerly for congratulations and permission from others.
But what permission are we thirsty for?
Now when you read this you might say you are not announcing but rather documenting.
Documenting is more truthful than announcing, but people never last with the documenting.
They'll make excuses: most...

The woman with no small intestine
She fed herself through four bags of saline solutions. She took the four bags twice a day.Β
Four years ago her torturer ripped out her small intestines. The torturer must've been a trained surgeon, otherwise there was no way they could've pulled off such a clean job.
Besides the height and...

Food -> Shit
Food presented on the table is beautiful. Appetizing. Can't wait to dig in.
When I go to the toilet I create shit.
Thinking about what you actually give to the world versus what the world gives you, it's not hard to be humble.
It's once you start crafting these arbitrary playgrounds. Aspire for...

An artist who could not create I
There was a pub one artery and two veins from the square that sheltered probably who I'd consider the most miserable soul I've known.
He arrived that watering hole around the same time I would: the start of happy hour before the crowd ruffled through. It was my favorite time to...
