Small Change on Strangers

A life half-examined

Month: June 2017

Baby A

I realise that I'm in a fortunate position in not having a mortal enemy in life, but sometimes I feel like you're not really living if you're without one.

On Not Driving

My wife recently bought a new car and it's an interesting experience...psychologically. As I was playing the role of emotional supporter, I had a lot of time to wander around and fall in love with the shiny things.

As someone who works from home these days, I am largely free from workplace drama and craziness. But it hasn't always been the case. Craziest thing that happened at work?

On Very Specific Types of Fear

We have words for so many different things in the modern world, but there doesn't seem to be enough words for the very specific types of fear I feel every day. Why isn't there a word for: the fear that comes when you realize you're halfway through walking your dog and you haven't brought a … Continue reading On Very Specific Types of Fear →
