"Why you would assign that every student must buy the psychical book in a specific translation, only to not read a vast majority of the text will be always beyond me. I’m just rereading the whole thing. Mama didn’t raise a quitter but she did raise someone with insane sunk cost value for using a $15 coupon." — Feb 05, 2026 11:12PM

“The world is like a seesaw out of balance: on one side is a box of big rocks, tilting it its way. On the other side is a box, and a bunch of us with teaspoons, adding a little sand at a time.

“Being a teen was a metaphorical state that could be prolonged indefinitely, a way of being in which one was unspoiled, blameless, enthusiastic, and sincere.”
