  • On Friendship - on Love - On Sex

    A Deep Dive into: Love [pt.10] – Even with rules, sex with a friend you love and admire will at least change the friendship and at worst, ruin it.

    September 29, 2018 - By Dave

    This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. What does it really mean? —— https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/0abfb56d-99b3-4b71-ba99-6e021b9d4bb5 Elaine: Okay, so fine. Go. Jerry: What happened to the rules? Remember? Sleeping over was optional. Elaine: Yeah, it’s my house, it’s my option. Jerry: It has…

  • On Friendship - on Love - On Sex

    A Deep Dive into: Love [pt.9] – If the strength of a friendship is based on how vulnerable you can be with each other, and if sex is the most vulnerable thing to do with someone (naked with no clothes on, nowhere to hide, or no weapons to protect you), why can’t friends have sex?

    September 28, 2018 - By Dave

    This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. What does it really mean? —— It seems simple. You like someone, you might be attracted to them, but then you decide we should just be friends because you don’t want to complicate it…

    A Deep Dive into: Love [pt.8] – Is true love about admiration (of a friend)? + The [super fucking cool] Philosophy of: ‘Being just good friends’

    September 27, 2018 - By Dave

    This is a deep dive into the one word that may be more confused or have a greater subjective meaning than any other in the English language: Love. What does it really mean? —— Isn’t it terrible, Eryximachus,” he says, “that the poets have composed hymns and poems to other gods, but none of them has ever composed a eulogy of Love,…

  • On Passion

    Is a life lived guided by your head (and not your heart) a life worth living?

    September 26, 2018 - By Dave

    Even though life (and love) is absurd, if you live your life based on being rational, as opposed to following your heart (even if it leads to heartbreak, anguish and absolute devastation) worth it? Or should life be lived guided entirely by heart? If nothing matters in the end, and we are all on a pale blue dot for a…

  • On future - On the Present

    Is it possible to exist both in the moment and with a part of you in the future too (whether worried/anxious or hopeful about it)? Is that an inherent condition of being a human (which makes it okay)?

    September 25, 2018 - By Dave

    Can you be completely present in every moment? Is that the perfect life? But, if it is, are you sacrificing the joy of building something with others? Conversely, if you are present with someone, but feel anxious or worried or hopeful about the future, is that both absurd, but also a fundamental part of what it means to be human?

    Our time is short – The philosophy of Jason Mraz, Gang of Youths and Seneca

    September 24, 2018 - By Dave

    Some men, indeed, only begin to live when it is time for them to leave off living. And if this seems surprising to you, I shall add that which surprise you still more: Some men have left off living before they have begun. – Seneca You are here on this earth for but a blink. So make it count, have…

    September 23, 2018 - By Dave

    Listening to songs that you did at happy times might bring you back to it. Looking at old photos of times where you most felt the way you love to might as well. Or maybe even writing or drawing or just doing the stuff you did when you most felt happiest. What’s the song (or songs) that take you back to…

  • On the Present

    Be Here Now. – Why is it so hard to be completely present in the moment? (And maybe this is how we can do it)

    September 22, 2018 - By Dave

    At any given moment, you may be with someone you care about, but your mind is going over things in your past, your ambitions for the future, your fears about something in 5 minutes, what someone said to you yesterday at work, some annoying chore you have to do that you’ve been putting off… and all of this may occur…

  • On Connection - On Conversation

    What is it like to be you?

    September 21, 2018 - By Dave

    The whole point of meaningful conversation may be one thing… to try to understand one thing we can never ever truly know… and that’s: what it’s like to be YOU. I can never know truly what goes on in your mind, and you can never truly know what goes on in mine. All the swirling emotions and random thoughts and…

    How can we quickly bounce back and move on when things don’t go as we expected or hoped?

    September 20, 2018 - By Dave

    Imagine them going wrong. Visualise what you hope for not happening – in every little detail. Imagine the thing most wish for not happening. What would that look and feel like? The purpose of this is not to bum us out, but it’s firstly to be ready for the possibility for it not turning out how we hoped, to imagine…
