My dear, You might think that I’m worse off now, you know, after that outburst of mine that ruined my whole reputation. You might think that life is harder for me now. And frankly, you might be wrong. … Actually, you are wrong. I’ve never felt so free in my life. Do you realize I can say whatever I want, whenever, to whoever? Do you realize that I don’t have to keep up with anybody unless I choose to now? In a way I...

My dear, You’d think the kindest word in the world was one that was so grand that it put all the others to shame. But you’d be wrong. The kindest word in all the world is the unkind word, unsaid. The kind word is not an addition of something better to world, rather it’s the subtraction of something bad. Focus on that. On removing unkind words. For frankly, they outnumber the kind words 10 to 1. Let’s flip that ratio...

My dear, You have no balance at all. You have all the balance in the world. Both of these statements are true. Because: Half of balance is just believing you have it. And balance can be interpreted in many ways. Half of happiness is just believing you have it. Half of fortune is just believing you have it. Half of strength is just believing you have it. Half of creativity is just believing you have it. Half of love is just believing you...

My dear, We remember the nights we went out, got drunk as hell and threw up all over the place. We remember the nights we almost got arrested. We remember the nights we don’t remember. For they were the best. No one. Falsely yours, A....

My dear, What is a conscience? And why does it only appear at certain times? Why does it only appear when your other senses are finally receiving such great pleasure? My dear, I don’t know what a conscience is in full. But I will define it as so: A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good. It’s an answer that answers nothing, I know. But that’s all I know, and I’ll be damned if I lie that I...

My dear, Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits. They say they’re planning new habits for the New Year. Better habits. But truth be told, it’s the same old habits (in new attire of course). Happy New Years, and congrats on re-dressing up your old habits. Falsely yours, A....

My dear, What is stress? I’ll tell you what stress is. Stress is finding yourself awake for three days, running purely on caffeine, your hair in a mess, your children unattended, and your spouse neglected. Stress is when your eyes match your red shirt, when your muscles ache and twitch for no apparent reason, and when the world seems against you every step of the way. Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you...

My dear, Scientist and thinkerers talk about how we judge people by their actions on a conscious level. They’re wrong. In reality, people judge you for your actions without knowing the reason behind it. Our judgement is not something we do consciously. We’d go mad if it was; We’re constantly judging. No, I believe that when people see you do good, or do bad, they get a feeling within them that tells them a little about...

My dear, Yes, life is short. Life is tiny. And life will blink by in a second. But life is fun while it lasts. Life is amazing. And life is beautiful. … That is, if you remember to enjoy all of it’s best moments as much as you can. Life is short, but it is wide. Falsely yours, A....

My dear, People constantly go on and on about how burnt out they are by everyday life. I find this endlessly annoying, for I see that none of them are doing that which they love passionately everyday. The only people that can truly burn out are those who are pursuing what they love with all their might. Only those who’s hearts and eyes are ablaze can burn out. For if you were to burn out you must first be on fire. Falsely yours, A....
