As a child I gained strong ideas strongly held and clung deeply to them. That’s fine. It’s good to develop an identity and build beliefs around it—to a point. Not necessarily because those beliefs are right in the objective sense, but because childhood requires having a sense
Writing is a weird thing. It’s this creation from our brains, composed of tiny figures that we’ve all mutually agreed are valuable. When I sit down to put words to the page I have an idea of what I want to write. But I’ve purposely chosen not
Passages in life aren’t specific dates. Passages are moments when we realize that something doesn’t work, needs to be changed and it is the best time to do something about it. Beautifully put. I appreciate Michał’s resilience and desire to keep pushing, despite the challenges. Beautiful essay

Nothing is more valuable on a plane than space. There are mathematical reasons for that, but if you’ve ever spent hours stuck in a middle seat or had the person in front of you demolish your knees while shooting backward into nap mode, you also just know it in
I’m always torn between how little and how much should be shared. Of course there’s things I’ll just never post online, preferring instead to share with friends. With that said, even within the limits of what I’ll post I’m often looking for the angle. Is
For decades now, U.S. wireless carriers have sold consumers “unlimited data” plans that actually have all manner of sometimes hidden throttling, caps, download limits, and restrictions.
