I Tried Camming for a Week… and I Wasn’t Prepared for What Actually Happened
The first thing that surprised me about camming wasn’t the nudity. It wasn’t the money either. It was how quickly a room full of complete strangers started to feel like a conversation.

The Weight of Silence: How I Carried My Sister's Secret for Twenty Years
The human heart is a vault of secrets, and mine has been locked tight since the summer of 1998 when my sister Rebecca climbed through my bedroom window at three in the morning with blood on her hands and terror in her eyes, begging me to help her without asking questions, and in that moment I made a choice that would define the next two decades of my life, transforming me from an innocent seventeen-year-old into a keeper of devastating truths that would corrode my soul slowly, methodically, like acid eating through metal. Rebecca was twenty-one then, beautiful and wild in the way that our small town both celebrated and condemned, the kind of girl who could light up a room with her laughter one moment and disappear into darkness the next, struggling with demons that our conservative family refused to acknowledge, much less address, because in our world, mental health issues were character flaws to be prayed away rather than medical conditions requiring treatment and compassion.

maybe we get married one day, but who knows?
Sometimes I think about you the way I think about distant cities I’ve never been to. The way I think about Birmingham, or London, or Switzerland — places that exist somewhere far away in the world yet somehow live quietly inside my imagination. Places I’ve never walked through, never breathed the air of, never watched the sunset over. And still, they carry a strange pull inside me. A kind of longing that feels both foolish and inevitable, like a quiet ache you can’t quite explain.

Follow You Follow Me
Introduction I was out walking, which often inspires me to write things and the Genesis song “Follow You Follow Me” popped into my head. It was their first album as a trio, Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett having walked, but I still bought it on the basis of “Follow You Follow Me” and the opening song “Down and Out” but I was hugely disappointed. The rest of the album was just boring, but those two songs showed that there was a spark still there and the rest of their musical career did throw up some surprisingly good songs. As usual, I have digressed and gone off track so now down to the business of what I was going to talk about.

Word of the Day: 走り
I actually sort of don't know what I am doing with food right now. I need to finish cleaning my fridge and I am just so tired. I also have food I need to eat before it spoils but because I have been in a calorie deficit for a while it feels too much even though it isn't.

SOME THOUGHTS ON PHILOSOPHY IN MY LIFE
Everyone needs a motto in life, but I myself yearn to find even more. Philosophy, which I cherish most, is something I always believe in; studying it is like exploring a treasure trove of profound wisdom. Why? Because, first and foremost, the name philosophy says it all: philosophy means wisdom (in Chinese), meaning love of intelligence (philosophy). What could be more joyful than having all the difficulties and obstacles in life resolved by a wise and intelligent "scholar"? Is that perhaps overestimating philosophy? I don't think so, because no one would name something without first defining it in their mind. And even if it were called "philosophy" when it was born, if it had been truly useless, lacking wisdom and intelligence throughout a long period of history, no one would be foolish enough not to rename such a multifaceted field of study.
