How Much Titty Is Too Much Titty at A Wedding
“Oh my God, if you hooked up with her, you have to tell me every single thing that happened. You have to write me a term paper on the look and feel of Margo Roth Spiegelman’s breasts. Thirty pages, minimum! I want you to do a photo-realistic pencil drawing. A sculpture would also be acceptable. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to write a sestina about Margo Roth Spiegelman’s breasts? Your six words are: pink, round, firmness, succulent, supple, and pillowy. Personally, I think at least one of the words should be buhbuhbuhbuh.” ― John Green, Paper Towns

Whiskey
I've drunk a lot over the years. I still remember the first time I ever tried alcohol on Christmas Day when I was 14. It was a beer, a pretty famous brand that I barely finished because it quite frankly was genuinely terrible. My thoughts on my first taste of alcohol? It was not a 'good call' I've jumped between beverages since, wanting to try as many flavours as I can, find what I could undoubtedly consider 'My Drink'. I went from Rums, to cocktails, back to rums, vodka's, beers, cocktails again (I'm still partial to them, they're delicious). But when I first started trying whiskeys, that was when I felt something in the back of my mind. I felt something in the flavours and the years of aging that seemed to almost resonate within me. I realised from then that whiskey is the most honest drink. Because if you look at the whiskey a person drinks, you can know them as deeply and intimately as you know yourself.

The Wall Went Into A Witness Exposure Program
They’d complain about my tendency to hide behind them. Bastards. I’m what you call a closet introvert because, as a child, I was repeatedly told otherwise and bullied into believing I liked people, and of course, the idea of socializing followed. Such rubbish.

Rethinking Economic Growth: Embracing Empathy in Economic Interventions
As we delve into the tenets of the Principle of Empathetic Intervention, we must be cognizant of the fact that economics cannot be comprehended in a vacuum, devoid of the human condition. Economic doctrines and strategies must be rooted in the verities of the people they endeavor to benefit. It is solely by embracing empathy and ensconcing the human experience at the core of our economic interventions that we can genuinely engender a substantial and tangible transformation.

They Weep Instead...
If Walls Could Talk, Would We Want To Hear What They Have To Say? As history has been told, and wall after wall began to unfold, we have become knowledgeable about the stories of humans… building walls, climbing the walls and breaking through walls - around our planet. In pursuit of dreams, privilege and power or personal desires to achieve something beyond THE WALL itself. Inner walls, outer walls, walls that protect countries or stand upon the foundations of our homes - they all have a story that is told in a language of their own - weeping through the cracks they reveal much.
