People don’t realize the daily power they have to make others happy. All it takes is a few kind words, delivered without expectation. It’s not much, honestly. Giving someone a compliment or slight encouragement is the one thing any of us can do, at any time. It’s free, it’s easy, and, boy, can it do … Continue reading You Wish To Be A little Taller? I Got You Covered!
What do you do for work . . . in the few days remaining before robots take over your job?
I am ignorant. And for that I am grateful because the infinitude of things I don't know means that I will be able to learn forever. And that, in turn, means that I can live a life of surprise and wonder. It also means I can approach situations with a mindset that is prepared to … Continue reading I’ll Teach You Ignorance
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has convinced himself that no one else has ever gone through, or is going through, the same angst/turmoil/upsetting experience. No one understands my sadness. Not one person gets how it feels to be this jealous. Who has ever been as confused as I am right now? How … Continue reading Unspoken Bonds
So I wrote my first poetry collection and this is the introduction: I’m a private person, ironically. “Ironic” because I’m in the business of public disclosure, and I’m part of a generation that shares everything.

It is the first time cuddles that count in the whole story. The ideas of long term still seem blurry, but defined is the hope to be. My guess: because the start freaks out both parties. The intense love at first sight is overrated but the shallow feeling of wonder and desire and mixed thoughts … Continue reading Love you to the moon and back!
I wanted to set my memories down on paper, where I can hold them. You know, I do believe in magic. I was born and raised in a magic time, in a magic town, among magicians. Oh, most everybody else didn’t realize we lived in that web of magic, connected by the silver filaments of … Continue reading What I think about Magic

Life is hectic. We are prone to live with what it brings, but most of the time we are bound to finding ways of controlling it, venturing on understanding the big and the small encounters we meet along. People like knowing the answers behind everything. Hence, you won't mind me undergoing my new idealist thoughts of … Continue reading A Different kind of… Theory of Everything
The Writer exists in two worlds: the world he’s creating and the world in which he wears the same shirt a lot. The Writer successfully holds each world responsible for his failings in the other, a Ping-Ponging of accountability that frees him to wake up around elevenish. The Writer feels uneasy referring to himself as … Continue reading The Irony of being a Writer
