Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing who was he? was this real?
Who the hell was he? He thought this? Was he Kevin? Or was he Marc Love? Or George Baker? He had lost track of who he was. All he knew was he had an ex and she had turned into a dog. He missed her. Even though when she was...

Rereading Crime and Punishment revealing my darkness to me

Reading Crime and Punishment again after many years. This time around I realize that I am the destitute. I am the poor. I am the scoundrel. I am the one who pawns my loved one's stockings to get drunk. I am the one who forces someone's daughter to prostitute herself...

Rodia contemplates when to admit he's lost his job

The first face Rodia saw that morning was Mark's. 

"Hello, good morning." Mark said with a smile. "Breakfast?"

Rodia sat down. Mark's face, which was peaking in from the kitchen into the dining room was smiling. His smile always communicated things without words. Today Rodia knew...

... yet they still do. How can this be explained? 

Simple: they aren't spending time on you. The mentor is getting...

Have Courage

Stop being so scared of being something you aren't. You aren't anything but the things you do and the thoughts you think. This is always changing. You never really are. More so you are becoming. Quit being scared of becoming what you want to become rather than something you think...

What is a good relationship?

The world has always been filled with a lot of shit. Somewhere, someplace there are people dying for no fault of their own. There is always suffering and unfair exploitation. Long time ago you could get by without knowing much of it, only the things you could see around you....

200 Words a Day
The magic of 200 Words a Day

Once Brandon asked me something along the lines of "where has the magic of 200 words a day gone?"
