  • This Is Melancholy

    But the scent of the event has dissipated, its feeling gone. It is now a movie I saw ages ago — I know the story but I don’t feel the power of it anymore. In many ways, it might as well have happened to someone else. I don’t know it happened to me, not from the inside out.

  • The First Time You See Your Ex After The Breakup

    Wow, oh wow, isn’t it weird when someone is your everything and then becomes a nothing? Shocker. Electrocuted.

  • Silence Your Phone

    What really gets me is that cellphones aren’t that old. In one generation we’ve gone from existing happily without them to wondering what life was like before them. It’s alarmingly fast, and a bit frightening. We treat our phones as natural extensions of our bodies, aware of our remaining battery life like we’re aware of how hungry we are — an elegant lie.
