I Think I'm Back

-

Hi my favourite void to scream into!

Life has changed quite a bit. I created this page back in 2018 - have archived quite a few blogs from over the years and I honestly have not written anything to publish since probably 2021. I'd like to think I'm back, though between work, life, and contemplating life I tend to get busy. There is quite a bit of reflection that I have been doing (granted it has been 5 years since I have opened up this blog so maybe not that much), and it feels like it is time to bring this back to life. We live in the digital age and while SubStack seems to be all the rage at the moment, there is some sense of quiet and peacefulness associated with sites like this. Off the main road, kind of like a back alley that people mingle in. Less pressure to perform. More authentic somehow.

I could be spewing complete bull right now but thankfully no one is reading this and it is just for me. A place to share my thoughts without the burden of people's eyes.

So I could be posting here again in a very short period of time, or it may be another 5 years. All I know is that this space feels like a constant, somewhere I could escape to for some time and maybe in 5 years look back at this post with some fondness.

Stay safe out there!

Cheers :)

Naked mole rats do not get cancer

Now, this isn't actually true because for quite some time we (as in scientists) believed that naked mole rats did not get cancer and I was even told of this by my biology instructor. Being the curious soul that I am, I looked up the intriguing "fun fact" and to my dismay, I found that a group of researchers actually found four cases in which mole rats had cancer (the paper that they published is mentioned at the bottom of this post). The rest of this post is not going to be about naked mole rats but as a lover of accurate fun facts, I consider it my duty to inform that this fun fact is actually not that fun. Not to worry though, I will be bringing some fun facts every now and then, and occasionally debunking some just for shits and giggles because why not :) Who would've thought that summer classes would make summer more interesting? Definitely not me, and there is no way that I am saying it now but who's to say that it can't get better soon. So far all I'...

Revisiting Versions of Yourself

-
There are places we will go and people we will meet for the first time. Maybe we've already gone there or met them. Then comes the choice, the metaphorical fork in the road . Will you ever go there again or was the moment over before you realized? Did you unknowingly say hello to someone who will be with you until your last breath or goodbye without realizing that you wouldn't see them again? There are places we go back to often or more than you expected; this can be your familial home, an old park bench you found on your first walk near your apartment, or even a gas station you went to in a different city years ago. These places hold versions of us that we may have forgotten about, been trying to revive, or simply let go of. Sometimes we never get the chance to revisit these places because they have been closed or changed. Now the difference between reminiscing and being stuck in a time that is already gone is crucial here, because the former is done with a sense of fondness ...
