if i had my life to do again, i wouldn't.
Quantum dynamics describes the fundemental forces acting upon the elementary particles that make up the universe, but by what force did those forces emerge? If I said love, you'd misunderstand, so let's have a cup of coffee instead.
I laid my daughter down in her crib to sleep one night. She was four months old. She had been sleeping through the night often then, but not so often that I expected her to. As I closed her bedroom door, I _hoped_ to get a full night's sleep. The next time I opened that door, I found she was older than me.

I used to be afraid of death because I was afraid to not exist. But lately I've noticed that I'm more afraid the world will go away without me. I know it's ridiculous, but...

When my kids were little I'd watch them while they slept to make sure they were breathing. I knew that was ridiculous too.

If one of us has to die, please, let it be me. I know it's ridiculous, but it's my only prayer.

The good people of the world learned too late that all power is violence, too late to save themselves and the other ones too, but not too late for revenge.
Anything that works at all, works like shit. Anything that works perfectly does so for an instant, then flies apart.

Erdogan says, while holding the kid:
'the turkish flag is in his pocket, if he becomes a martyr, the flag inşallah will cover him. He is ready for anything'

#nationalism at its best...

...and there are many similiar examples.

There are days I have trouble getting into my writing groove, and this is one of them. Used to be, I'd get all angsty about it, but these days I just roll with it and take a little breather when it happens. I'd rather write fifty words a day and enjoy it than force out a thousand and hate every minute of it.

A brief thought: I think we need to take a long step back from "irony" culture.

There's a pattern I see repeatedly where people immersed in "irony" seem to not comprehend that other people actually believe what they're saying, because "irony" dictates that THEY don't believe anything they're saying. It's all a joke; it's just "for the lulz", to score laughs and Internet Points.

Being earnest is a completely foreign concept, and so they assume NOBODY is earnest.
