through my spectrespecs

It is one of the greatest reflections to ask who you are now and how much you’ve changed. Over the many years of my life, I find this thought in my mind. It’s kind of like a self-evaluation, but much like any evaluations, it doesn’t help in getting things done, only to show you that time has passed and if it passed well. There are many variations to this as well, questions like “If I was in this…

What are you doing with your free time?

It has come to one of those days when I whine about my adulthood and complain that I no longer have free time. This is also the time that it is mandatory to have a wake-up call of reality. Contemplating on this dilemma, I looked back on what I used to do over the years when I did have my free time. Did I do productive things? Not really. Most of them involved lying in bed and watching video after…

Why cry?

  We become sad. At times. And we feel the most sadness when we start to tear up and cry. We cry when we are left alone at school, or when we hit ourselves over the head with a ball as a child. We cry when we fly alone to go to college. We cry when we receive a first heartbreak. And a second, and a third. It’s ridiculous and useless when you think about it. Nothing really gets accomplished. But…

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

Sometimes we forget that we do have the ability to think about things critically, even if it seems that situations are normal or accepted. There would be less of a need to talk about what you think when everybody earns the respect of individual thought. Freedom of speech is a very relative kind of freedom. It is sensitive, it is situational. And sometimes for good reason. Which is why the mind…


Friend: SO NO ONE TOLD YOU LIFE WAS GONNA BE THIS WAY


Me: *VIOLENTLY CLAPS 4 TIMES*

Visiting historical places are not only a remembrance of the past, but also a rethinking of the present.
