I think I might need to develop a better sense of class consciousness. I had that a lot when I was younger; I used to read and watch materials that were about class consciousness and workers’ struggles. Most of the literature I read was in fact socialist or socialist-oriented. Interestingly enough, I didn’t find much…

It seems that it’s best that people like me create our own life. I don’t think we’re meant to live the same as everyone else, necessarily. We have to create a life that suits us, one that we can continue along very well. I tend to get very lost in my own head; I have…

After having graduated from my English literature (and liberal studies) program in college, I’ve come to realize that I’m no longer tied down to the idea of what I thought I had to do. I’m no longer tied down to the idea of chasing a dream or a life mission (or a career) that does…

It’s often hard to develop an understanding of who you are, and live accordingly. Even if you know who you are and who you aspire to become, the wider conditions around you often aren’t suited to your particular development and positive inclinations. It often seems that your environment is never really tailored for you, it’s never…

Adulthood  It’s a million forms and a million renewals, enrollment renewals, that you personally have to do. It’s picking a passion of yours, a subject matter or a vocation, and practicing it professionally to earn a living and to give back to your community. You have to take care of yourself and your environment/home, of…

I feel like the act (or the process) of letting go of whatever it is that’s bothering you is much like the process of unclogging a sink. That’s only in some ways; it’s an imperfect comparison. But when you (initially) unclog a sink or a tub, isn’t it true that there’s usually some residual dirt…
