Salted Chocolate + Caramel Ice Cream Cake

there's something so raw and soul crushing about spending your late childhood+teen years suicidal then growing up and actually wanting to live, after an ungodly effort, only to see your health deteriorate because of chronic illness.

things and gifts

The thing about things is that the more you have things the more you want things

When it comes to gifts, it's not the thing that counts, it's the thought of bringing the gift that counts

seek different experiences

Just doing or experiencing one thing continuously in life leads to fatigue, boredom, and a mundane life

You need to do and experience different things

For example, with your partner if you just have positive experiences, it'll wear them out and you'll become less excited the next time a positive experience happens. You need to also experience negative things with your partner.

This being said, the concept of "balance" is not true here. You shouldn't have the same number of positive and negative experiences. Negative ones should be less and interspersed throughout the positive ones.

forget her

Have you forgotten her yet?

"Not yet." replies the prisoner, just like yesterday and the day before and the day before that.

"Then you'll stay here till you do. I'll come back tomorrow."

The prisoner laughs, just like yesterday and the day before that and the day before that.

voting, elections, demo cracy

If we argue that by not participating in elections, we're making a statement that we reject the political system and we don't even want to take part in the system, we're being stupid

We're already a part of the political system, politics pervades the society and us

Elections give us a chance to influence the system

By not voting, you're making yourself more powerless
