"Actual relationships are fuzzy, imprecise, sometimes messy, and so much richer for all of it. They are built on leaps of faith and uncertainty until the point where such things disappear." - Brendan Sinclair
Resiliency
I am amazed at the resiliency of humans. There are times where I encounter a situation and think to myself, "How did that person manage to overcome that situation?" Take for example, the story of Robert Downey Jr., also known as the one and only Iron Man of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For years, he …
Nakhraas
This past weekend, I went to Chicago to see my college raas team, Northeastern Nakhraas, compete at the Raas All Stars national championships.

Refractions
I'm sitting here recalling events of my past. The time where I went over to my cousin's birthday party and got stung by bees. Practicing playing the Jurassic Park theme song in band class.

The Brightest Stars
"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday's me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that's me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have …
