  • The day I died

    The audacity.  I had peacefully made my exit, and all these cretins had “things to say” about my choice. I hated those asinine articles when I was alive… “So and so did _________, sparking debate.”  So self-important were these lazy internet debaters. Because I gave a fuck what they argued…

  • Be the niche you want to see in the world

    I need a space for writings, nebulous musings, unsolicited advice, and talk therapy for all the versions of my soul. A way to relive and experience the contrasts, and even come to accept the abstract and sometimes infuriatingly paradoxical nature of life. A place for expression without the need for…

  • Desperate for freedom

    I’ve failed you. I’m still lost. I don’t really know who I am without you. I keep thinking—I keep deluding myself—that somehow I’ve processed everything. But really, I’ve only been taking advantage of my lack of object permanence. If you don’t see someone, or something often, you get used to…

  • When helping becomes pathological

    Lately, I’ve been wondering a lot: What am I doing? What is my actual damage? This zealousness to help others—to solve problems—is it possible to go too far? When my loved ones complain enough, at one point I can’t just listen. I have to try solving it for them if…

  • Hey, Boo

    Handsomest and sweetest in all the land. How do I even start? When we met, I didn’t think about all that this could become. I was just thinking I’m meeting someone and this could be fun. And I was right, we definitely have a lot of that. I guess I’m…

  • Bandit on the town

    Last night, I went to a bar. Figured I’d check out their No Cover Salsa night. I got there and heard the DJ say that it was going to be a 100% bachata night.  Damn. I must’ve not paid attention to the IG post. Fuck this. I started walking out–was looking forward…

  • Ridding the world of a menace

    Problem solved. Finally. I always thought if I ever killed someone that it would feel like…more than this. I feel nothing. No guilt, no shock at what I’ve just done. Only a second ago, but it’s already in the distant past. What I feel is…accomplished. Life isn’t different from one moment…

  • Trolling in the night

    I didn’t have anything to do this last weekend. So I decided to conjure up some amusement. I went to some random nighttime event in Glendale. They were holding it at one of the usual rooftop venues over on Harvard and Artsakh. An event that I was definitely NOT invited…

  • How can I speed up learning a new language?

    How can I speed up learning a new language? By immersing yourself in as many language-learning activities as you can outside of formal study: Internal External (learning that happens when I’m not at home) Online + Phone (things I can adjust on my electronic devices so that even when I’m lollygagging on the internets,…
