There’s something disquieting about this:
An apple wasn’t like a banana, he thought. His night therapist was wrong. They both had skin, but with an apple you could eat the skin, and with a banana you couldn’t. You could peel a banana easily with your fingers; an apple you couldn’t. To peel an apple of its skin, you needed a knife. A person was more like an apple than a banana. You couldn’t peel a person easily with your fingers. With a person, you needed a knife.
Finished reading Mona Awad’s Bunny yesterday. Started out very strong with a weird mean girls vibe, lost its way a bit in the middle third, but finished pretty strong in the end.
Now I’m onto Brian Evenson’s Song for the Unraveling of the World, which is my first of his work. #amreading
“What these brands are buying is a form of ad space — reach — not influence. Real influence is about people who have painstakingly established credibility in an area over time, building a foundation that lasts with a set of people who notice.”

Colin here. In the startup scene of the mid-2000’s the social currency (and oddly, user acquisition tactic) was to be featured on Techcrunch. It was always number one on a founder’s list, and with coverage came a surge both of users and interest. I would always joke that the traffic that would come in the front door from a post like this was equivalent to the people who show up to your party, drink your booze, and then promptly leave.
"I'm here, just here. You're here, just here. There is something here, something beautiful something special. It may last but a moment, but we are always connected to each other. I want you to feel that, when you see my work. You are not alone. There is always someone in the world keeping an eye on your struggle."
People are living own life desperately, sometimes feel lonely, sometimes helping each other, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing. I capture the people's daily life because there is a beautiful and full of human moment even they themselves do not notice, and I want to share these beautiful moments with other people, and at the same time, I want them to notice that extraordinary moments is existing in our daily life, our ordinary life. It can happen anywhere and at anytime. I want to convey this message through this project: "I'm here, just here, you're here, just here, there is something here, something beautiful, something special. We are always connected each other, and I want you to feel that: you are not alone at all, there must be someone in the society keeping an eye on your struggle for living."
