Dear Kacper, I think I should start with a hello, though it may be wasted on you. Business, and the slack jaw rapidness of an auctioneer, is your mode of conversation, so I’ll instead hope that wherever you are, it’s sunny and you’re happy. I can’t tell if you are, to be frank. I know … Continue reading
The greatest joke I ever heard was when I was eleven in Auschwitz. My family and I arrived by a German car that was crammed with bags and snacks and elbows rubbing together. Grass combed over unused rusted tracks and as we walked towards enormous gates that were wide open, one couldn’t help but feel … Continue reading
Though I’m sure that as the author of this blog I’m supposed to wait until everything is readable by at least editing and editing again, I promised that I’d write 1000 words daily and here they are and then some. Given the quality of the post, I might be better quitting while I’m ahead. Regardless, … Continue reading
I’m told that there are places on this Earth where entire galaxies move effortlessly. At these horizons, the Milky Way spreads out like a bowl of cereal and the stars float around like flakes in seemingly infinite blackness. Red merges with green and blue with yellow and a kaleidoscope of colours – the stew of … Continue reading

The final copy was heavily edited. * In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth, which most consider a pretty good start in comparison to the alternative. In the middle, God started to get a little antsy as he learned of places left unfinished since the … Continue reading
The following was written in anticipation of my thesis. The final copy was heavily changed. * It was five in the morning, and he had just finished writing the happiest story known to humankind. For a literary utopia, it was brief. The usual pretentious wankery of a writer wasn’t visible nor was it even needed. … Continue reading
Dear you, Einstein once wrote that the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting a different result. True as he may have been about a lot of scientific principles, here I am saying otherwise: because for about half of the eleven months that we’ve been together, I have been consistently ending these … Continue reading
If the happiest moment of one’s life is meant to be a jubilating climax, it’s fitting that mine occurred on the Eiffel Tower. Though the clichéd moment has often spurred inspiration for countless mimic lovers and over-inflated romantics, I neither felt love nor some overarching unity on the Parisian metallic beast. I instead gazed as … Continue reading
The most terrifying day of my life was 63 hours long. It began on April 25th at 3:00 a.m and ended on the 27th at around 6:00 p.m. In between those two milestones, I learned the definition of the word rescind, what it feels like to know nothing, how fleeting emotions can be, and the … Continue reading
