On Summers

It is late spring in New York as I write this. The trees outside have already turned green and full. It is warm; a fan in my room is turned on and pointed at me. I sweat profusely during my runs and don’t stop until an hour after. Summers are…

On Making Friends

I don’t quite know how to make or keep friends. I’m incredibly clumsy at it, and my general lack of competence or finesse occasionally results in me coming off as rude or uninterested in forming connections. As a kid, I operated as a loner leading a somewhat solipsistic life, and…
