Disconnected
This word is glued into my mind; disconnected. I just can't shake it off... And when this happens, I shall write. Disconnected will be my theme of the month.

Commonsense
A book about the absurdity of modern life passed on my timeline, the author, David Graeber, poses a very fascinating question: does your job actually contribute something to society? If not, your job is probably bullshit, part of a system that ensures we do a meaningless job, just to keep us busy, so the population … Continue reading Commonsense
Expensive
Name the most expensive personal item you've ever purchased (not your home or car). My sanity, that's the most expensive thing I own. Almost a decade ago, I need to pay a hell of money to the cunning and greedy lawyer just to settle my divorce. I have to pay a lot of staycation when … Continue reading Expensive
