cancer giving chance
But of course there is always a hamartia and yours is that oh, my God, even though you HAD FREAKING CANCER you give money to a company in exchange for the chance to acquire YET MORE CANCER.
children character dark
In general, watching children's television is a dark and surreal descent into madness where the characters on the screen talk directly to you.
sex two interesting
Sexuality is important, but it's certainly not the most interesting or important thing happening to you right now. We live in a world that tells us that there are only two important things. One is the acquisition of goods and the other is either the acquisition or avoidance of sex, but it turns out that the question of who's a virgin and who's a virgout is not the most interesting question.
sex thinking people
In English, we don't have a word for people who aren't virgins. What the non-virgin lexical gap really made me think was that our obsession with sexual purity is such that once you are no longer this THING, you are indescribable.
two people house
The United States Congress, like a lot of rich people, lives in two houses.
thinking remembers-you remember-you

I'm much less likely to feel that gnawing fear of aimlessness and nihilism than I used to be and that's partly because education gave me job opportunities, but it's mostly because education gave me perspective and context.
education passion important
It has been my experience that maximizing income is a helluva lot less important than maximizing passion and fulfillment in your both professionally and personally.
thinking minutes one-minute
Think for one minute of those who have loved you up into this day.
writing order broken
I write about broken people who need other people in order to go on. But those are the only kind of people I know to exist. We are all broken.
stars night produce
The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.
civilization people warm
When people have to choose between civilization and warm genitals, they choose warm genitals
