“I have a good son. But what does that even mean? Stereotypically, it would mean that I have an "obedient" son. Especially out here in Asian society. But to me, what that means, is that I have a son I can actually consult for serious and important insight because he has become a man whom I may rely on, respect and trust. That's what it means to me. Obedience? That's not important to me. I don't need an obedient son, I need a son who has become better than me, brighter than me, who is reliable, accountable, trustworthy and insightful. And he's all that. That's how he's a good son.”

“I will refuse to call it heaven
if the people I love
(who put me through hell)

aren't there.”

“I used to think that love was the greatest reason to be human, I truly believed that. But now, it has dawned on me, that love may in fact be just like any other aspect of life: something that could go extremely well but also could go terribly wrong. We think that love acts as a guarantee for good things; but it doesn't. It's equal parts the possibility of Hell as much as it is the possibility of Heaven. And this realisation kind of makes you a little sad, in a way. That at the end of the day, you must always be your own home and your own Heaven.”

“We normally know we're getting older, when the only thing we want for our birthday, is not to be reminded; unless you're a cancer survivor, then we love being reminded! - Chris Geiger”
Chris Geiger

“Every person has a secret inventory of "things". I call them objects of attachment - things that refuse to be forgotten. Perhaps it's a place, a smell, a business card. Whatever it is, they refuse to go unnoticed. These objects are enchanted, taking us back to another time or another place, where things are very different from the way they are now. They make us nostalgic. Playing back memories like old black and white movies, flickering with shimmer and warmth.

They are hard to avoid - popping up when your mind is distracted. And regardless of what you threw away, or donated to charity, that is where you find yourself - staring at the game of Scrabble, wondering exactly how each piece used to fit.

While I know my inventory and have studied it well, I often wonder which objects I am attached to. And I find myself hoping that one day you find me, unexpectedly tucked away in the back of your closet, or a messy desk drawer - and remember exactly what we once were.”
Jesse Warner, where i am
