Where your dreams are, that's where you grow.
When I was growing up, I lived in Texas.
But I also grew up in New York, South Korea, Chicago, London, Paris, India, Seattle, San Francisco, Hogwarts, Oxford and many other places I can no longer remember.

Pragmatism’s Gift -- NYT →
“Pragmatism takes that hope away and tells us that all we can do is muddle through, that we have been muddling through for a long time, and that, with luck, we will continue to muddle through, and in the process, perhaps, develop new forms of the “cultural artifact” we are and develop too new forms of knowledge to serve our artefactual purposes. The story so far has been an amazing one, full...

‘Why is it that some people can resolve the most complicated problems really easily, whilst others agonise over every tiny crisis and end up drowning in a glass of water?’ I asked. Ramesh replied by telling the following story: ‘Once upon a time, there was a man who had been the soul of kindness all his life. When he died,...

This photographer’s mother died, and his father lives alone with no short term memory. He doesn’t remember that his wife has died, or what he had for breakfast. This guy takes awesome pictures and writes captions about his family that he’s gonna put in a book. Beyond Awesome.

When I was in middle school, I made an “Outfit Log” so I could keep track of what I wore everyday. The purpose of this is sort of unclear now, but I guess it was so that I wouldn’t be caught re-wearing any given outfit within a specific time frame. Not only was this an “Outfit Log”, but also how I wore my hair, what jewelry I wore, and how I did my makeup. I kept these logs in a...

Find your friends all bundled up in the first several sections of the mall. (Or how I’m spending the next hour.)

Take the test and reblog your score. NO GOOGLING!
28 out of 33 correctly — 84.85 %
29 out of 33 correctly — 87.88 % -> Making me feel like I really earned that degree - although 50% of the questions I missed were from Econ 1301.

robot-heart:
High heels can do very flattering things for your body, but when you start stomping around like G.I. Joe on a combat mission, all those flattering things disappear. If you don’t know how to walk in them, don’t wear them.

I hate wearing heels - I am not good at it. I so love that fashion sense has delved into a...
