Shame? Nah, Just Beer

You cried poor,

but spent rich on laughter.

Broke with me,

yet bought joy with friends.

Shame is yours,

not mine —

I was love,

you were excuse.

    I've been the love in this and god, the specific kind of broke when it's someone choosing elsewhere. Hurts so different.

    Was the drinking part literally beer nights, or more like... wherever the fun actually was?

    Sounds like you knew from the start which way the imbalance ran, and just let yourself believe differently for a while.

    The shift from "broke with me" to "you were excuse." You weren't wrong.

    That gap between being broke with someone, then showing up fully for others. That's where it all is.

  • Does anyone actually care about your watch?

    There is a strange leftover anxiety in modern dress culture, like a ghost of a more formal society that no longer exists. We all still behave as if every visible detail is being quietly graded. The watch is one of the clearest examples of this illusion. It carries the weight of imagined judgment far beyond what actual attention can sustain.

  • Did EDC culture turn normal life into a gear fantasy?

    I used to think EDC culture was mostly harmless nerd behavior. Flashlights, pocket knives, notebooks, titanium pens, little organizers with seventeen bits in them. Fine. People like tools. People like objects. Some people enjoy refining a system. I get it. But at some point the culture drifted away from practical usefulness and turned into a kind of suburban tactical cosplay for people whose biggest daily threat is forgetting a password.

  • Is eating sardines far more ethical than eating beef?

Most people answer with a feeling instead, and the feeling favors the cow, because a cow is one large familiar death and a tin of sardines looks like a small massacre. Scored properly, the feeling is backwards.

  • Does your personality matter far less than you think?

    I realize, interacting with students, teenagers and younger co-workers peers that many believe that their personality traits are a leading factor in deciding what do to or how to tackle their own career. Although younger people ask these questions more explicitly, older adults also seem to think along the same lines. I personally find it to be far more irrelevant than most people think. Besides my job, where I observe successful people doing the same role with drastically...
