- Kindness
We're told to practice kindness at all times, but no-one really does. Are you kind when you eat ham? Are you kind when you eat beef? Are you kind when you treat animals more horribly than we used to treat slaves? Think about it next time you settle down to a burger.
Raven Storms
- Hex Appeal
I'd been searching for years for unconditional love, not realizing that the only one that mattered was me. Nothing else mattered except my love for myself.

- Just the way it is
Has it ever happened to you that you are in a place in life where you always aimed to be. I am talking about, THE place you have worked so hard, over a very long period of time to achieve. Only to find out you are not fully happy at that finish line. I do not know if this is what over-achievers feel or if it's simply because this is not my calling.

- Self-Sabotaging - Expectations
Feeling unhappy, even if nothing is wrong, and really, you've gotten everything you've wanted in life. What your subconscious mind might want you to know is you are probably expecting outside things to make you feel good rather than relying on changing how you think and what you focus on. No outward accomplishment is going to give you a true and lasting sense of inner peace, and your discomfort, despite your accomplishments, is calling your attention to that.

When I first started correcting my muscle memory to learn touch typing and improve my WPM.. and since my internet can be rude sometimes.. and since I'm a software developer I decided to create my own typing test platform locally. Then I decided to, why not, make a competitive typing platform where you can challenge your friends. Now it's available online you can check it on xotype dot tech.

- Maurice
People turned out to be alive. Hitherto he had supposed that they were what he pretended to be-flat pieces of cardboard stamped with a conventional design-but as he strolled about the courts at night and saw through the windows some men singing and others arguing and others at their books, there came by no process of reason a conviction that they were human beings with feelings akin to his own.
Will Mosely
- Gone for good
It'll be 10 pm, you'll be seeing hell and I'll be at home, wondering where you've been. I can't help these thoughts, but I wish I could. There's no letting go even though I know I should. Are you gone for bad? Or are you gone for good?
Pat Frank
- Alas, Babylon
There was an orange flash and an enormous ball of brown smoke and black bits of debris rushing up to meet him. Peewee kicked his rudder hard and climbed away from it, compressed within his G-suit and momentarily losing his vision. Then the shock wave kicked him in the rear and he was out over the Mediterranean again. He was asking for a vector back to his ship when another flash reflected on his instrument panel.
Patrick Rothfuss
- The Wise Man's Fear
There are so many men, all endlessly attempting to sweep me off my feet. And there is one of you, trying just the opposite. Making sure my feet are firm beneath me, lest I fall.

- Thoughts on Programming and Life
I've been relearning how to program and I'm doing that with Rust. When your program errors, sometimes it panics. Your program stops execution and unwinds the call stack and shows you a stack trace. Basically, a paper trail from where the error occurred. I feel like unwinding the stack is similar to how therapy works, something goes wrong in your life and you have to step back to see where it comes from. You trace it to its origin.
Arthur Conan Doyle
- The Hound of Baskerville
Momen dramatis dalam hidup adalah ketika kau mendengar suara langkah di tangga yang menuju ke arahmu, dan kau tak tahu apakah bermaksud baik atau jahat.
Matthew Snyder
- The Holy Mother
Nietzsche witnessed the death of God, The Holy Father. However, did he account for the absence of The Holy Mother? Did she abandon us? Was she slain? Or was she just corrupted beyond all recognition?
Skibidi
Skibidi toilet syndrome is created by brain rot from Gen Alpha. Gen Z have also been contributing to skibidi toilet syndrome, sadly, there is no cure.

- Gravity -
Gravity. It keeps you rooted to the ground. In space, there's not any gravity. You just kind of leave your feet and go floating around. Is that what being in love is like, Holling?
Someone who's always tired.
- Being in Love is Beautiful
I'm so damn in love. I thought I was over you. But you just sat there. Smiling, glancing at me, making me giggle, your brown eyes, your hair, your voice, your laugh, the way you comfort me, the way you help me... Oh, it's over for me. I might just be falling for you all over again. Damn it!
Jelly Roll
- Save Me
Somebody save me, me from myself. I've spent so long living in hell, they say my lifestyle is bad for my health. It's the only thing that seems to help. All of this drinking and smoking is hopeless, but feel like it's all that I need. Something inside of me is broken, I hold on to anything that sets me free.
Jeremiah S.
- Excerpt from the death of a friendship
However much you may try, once your hand is shown, a bluff becomes a near impossibility. I know you wish ill upon me. You want me rotting in a cell made of my own insecurities. There is so much vile hatred that comes from you, that I know a blatant attack on you will only make the phantom villain you've made of me a reality. I only hold back from retribution, not because I have concern left for your well-being, but because it is against my character to spill hatred from your wounds.
Benjamin Studebaker
- Critique of a Critique of the Administrative State
In moments of safety, we puff out our chests. We say we regret taking the fun out of life. But as soon as the doors start flying off the airplanes, we run back to mommy. When grandpa starts choking to death on his own phlegm, everybody better stay home. When the cities start to burn and the sea levels start to rise, you'd better do what the cops say. Or else.
Bos & Thureen
- Del's Final Speech in Driveways
You know what I wish? I wish me and Eddie was just leaving Joplin this morning. I wish we could do that whole trip all over again. We'd be a little more deliberate this time, drive a little slower, take our time, take a good look at stuff. Really... really see the country.
