Abraham Kim last shared their writing still prepared for the worst
After bineg shot at the  Seaside Rest , he never parted with the  bulletproof . Even slept in it.

How different would life be right now had he been wearing it. He thought to himself. Thought this a lot. But this always led to the realization that it wasn't just the...

Something more important than being right as reply to Solomon Asch

Until about 14 months ago, I was unable to fathom a better way to live than sticking to your guns and being an honest individual. If some or all the people got offended or hurt, well fuck them. That's how I thought and tried to live.

I always found myself as...

Confronting Truth as reply to Let it bleed

@Abe, to take it up a notch about confronting truth, doesn't it follow that the artist should confront truth in the present, not only in hindsight? Or is that what you mean about growing (learning from the past) in order to confront it (the present). 

It's possible to confront truth in...

Abstraction as reply to Trust & Agreement: Life Experience Required

As complexity increases, it gets more and more difficult to agree. Sometimes, we try to agree on a concept that has moving variables.

One thing programmers love doing when they should be programming is arguing over the best way to program. Either they idolize the new hot thing, or they scoff...

Cheap tea and Long walks as reply to Re: Re: Friendship

Keni you're doing an amazing job of writing truthfully as GabrielGreco put.

Your account of University social life shows simply and beautifully the power of cheap yet priceless experiences. Intangibles rooted in the ordinary. Things that are seemingly accessible to everyone.

We spend so...

Highschool as fail-safe zone as reply to Friendship

Composition of my friendships match yours. Funny for me is that I probably would've never become close with my university friends had we met in high school instead.

Like you wrote, high school was a different environment. Funny and kind of sarcastic to a fault often. But it sort of allowed...

Focus Requests

I've been chatting with brianball again and a thing that comes with this is a flurry of ideas. I actually don't like calling his ideas feature requests since it's inaccurate to describe his ideas as requests. They're more accurately food for thought. But...

In the future

I had this vision a few years ago when I was in Montreal. The subway in Montreal felt more depressing than in Berlin. The weather. The lighting. The architecture. And together all of it the people. 

It wasn't uncommon for everybody to be looking at their phone during their ride. Up...

Letters to People
Beer; Coffee

I remember us taking so many walks. And I remember us drinking so much beer. Today I wouldn't even drink more than once a week. Back then I remember the sun setting on many Tuesdays and Wednesdays where I'd begin wondering whether you'd want to go for a beer. Don't...
