Like virtual dust
If it were possible for dust to collect on old emails, I would start sneezing any time I open my account. There is a message sitting in my drafts folder that I’ve been meaning to send but haven’t. Not without cause, of course. It is because I’m afraid of the possible rejection or unwanted outcomes…

When I smell Jazz Club
Imagine a distinguished gentleman, nursing a high ball glass of his favorite liquor, as the saxophonist’s melody heals his soul. This, I imagine, is the scene Maison Margiela Replica hopes to evoke with Jazz Club. To me, this scent is undeniably masculine and refined. It smells like a man in the best way. It’s not…

Timers and timers
At some point, I don’t know how, I happened upon an interval timer website. It was a godsend as a decided to do my work using it. After 15 minutes, I would take a break to scroll the websites I wanted and then get back in it the next 15-minute block started. I would play…
