The 21st century crush will be defined by screenshotted conversations sent to our best friends, catfishing, and a computer screen of security, which might become the only way two individuals feel comfortable communicating. The inability of text to demonstrate emotion will make the effective communication of sarcasm very difficult, and we will start to relyContinue reading “21st Century Crushes”

A shoutout to my long-distance friends
I live in Atlanta, and here I have friends that I can touch and feel. But I live in Atlanta, and you live on the other side of the country; I see you a few times every year. As a senior in high school, I’m going to see some of my best friends once moreContinue reading “A shoutout to my long-distance friends”
Powerless
I returned home after driving like a madman through a torrential rainstorm. Apparently, the weather had taken out a power line, and our entire neighborhood had lost power. At this time, it was still light outside. The air inside the house still retained some of its air conditioned effect, so the muggyness was bearable. TheContinue reading “Powerless”
Five people I don’t want to become
The overly obsessive with looks When looks come to dominate everything else that I prioritize in life, I know that something is wrong. I never want to be so concerned with my outward appearance that my focus on this inevitably trades off with the quality of my inward appearance.

The Risk Calculus of Large Asteroid Collisions
Hi readers! This is a formal essay I wrote for my sophomore English project at school. It’s a pleasant deviation from what I normally post on this blog; there are parenthetical citations and a bibliography included. At even the suggestion of an asteroid hurtling towards earth that will wipe out all living creatures, peopleContinue reading “The Risk Calculus of Large Asteroid Collisions”
FOESO: Why We Need to Reflect
FOESO of this post right here. In a society where everyone is encouraged to stand up for themselves and assert their opinions, many people will do just that. They will defy standards and rebel against what they think is unfair. But those who narrow-mindedly believe in such things do not acknowledge the essentiality of reflection.Continue reading “FOESO: Why We Need to Reflect”
FOESO: Let’s Be Bold and Speak Loudly
New segment/category on the blog: From One End of the Spectrum to the Other! This is essentially where I will argue for both sides of an issue. I believe in what I write for both sides, but don’t forget why this blog is called Never Stationary… Here’s one side of the spectrum, the other sideContinue reading “FOESO: Let’s Be Bold and Speak Loudly”
