Every so often I'll buckle myself down and make an effort to produce some sort of post for this site. For the most part, it has amounted to about a single post once a month, with a few gaps here and there. While I do enjoy writing, I've been facing this internal conflict concerning the … Continue reading The Conflict of Writing Online: Arrogance

My Writing
Comparing oneself to others is unhealthy. This sentiment is one that we have likely all heard. The reasoning for which it is unhealthy is up for debate--whether it be related to self-esteem, or the ego discussed throughout Daoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, or whichever other religious practice one is inclined towards. A common alternative, especially in the … Continue reading My Writing
A Conversation, Not an Argument
Foreword: Hello all! Before I begin this post, I wanted to address a few changes made around the site. Last month I got in one of those moods, that I do, to shake things up. In lieu of a post for most of the month of April, I elected to refurbish certain aspects of the … Continue reading A Conversation, Not an Argument
The Road Less Traveled By
I have had plenty on my mind lately--from racism, to the pervasive nature of the ego, to what denotes positive masculinity from its toxic counterpart--but nothing I am ready to write about quite yet. Instead, I decided to delve into my list of drafts dating back through to June, 2019. A much different time than … Continue reading The Road Less Traveled By
Change and Love

That said, change is a naturally occurring part of life. Regardless of the time, place, or circumstance, things change. … Continue reading Change and Love

While this is true from both an ontological and epistemological standpoint, where the mystery truly lies is in the causality of beauty. In … Continue reading Edit: What is Beauty

The more positive emotions (happiness, excitement, satisfaction, etc.) being encompassed and characterized by pleasure, and the more negative emotions (anger, sadness, disappointment, etc.) being encompassed and characterized by pain. It is through this simplification that anger can be seen as an expression … Continue reading Anger & Hatred
Fear, Happiness, and Love
It's been a while since I've written anything on this website pertaining to, well, anything outside of pop culture. Given my two most recent posts, it's quite apparent that I've been watching a bit of Dragon Ball lately! I have no shame. I love that series. Anyways, here goes! Over the course of 2019 I … Continue reading Fear, Happiness, and Love
How Business School Made Me a Greedier Person (Edited)
As stated in my About page, I'm currently a student. I've studied both engineering, as well as business (not at the same time... masochism isn't my thing). Lately I've been thinking about some of the personal changes I have gone through in the past year or so (about the time I started going to business … Continue reading How Business School Made Me a Greedier Person (Edited)
