I was talking with a friend recently and was gobsmacked when he told me he doesn’t have the mind to have children. My first thinking was that he may be impotent. But I decided to ask him why he wouldn’t

Let us write about love exactly how we have felt it. You and I are broken and confused twenty-something year olds. Because we are an extinct specie, we cannot even start to imagine what our future would

Overtime, you learn to say 'Yes' , 'Is that so?' , 'I can only imagine', to friends who have very little understanding of "the human condition". Because you know, or, as time lapsed, have tested

Sunday night, the time is 12 a.m., and I am in Elegushi beach, standing on the shore, the crashing waves racing towards me and sweeping the sand beneath my feet. It is cold, windy, and as the water redraws
