  • What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

    The concept of eternity is… Terrifying. I don’t even think a human could handle it. Some say they dream about downloading their conscience into a machine to make themselves eternal. But if ever that were possible, whatever would live on in that machine would not be them. It would not be human. Just like your

  • What relationships  had a positive impact on you?

    My family made me, first and foremost, it’s family first, for me. Then, I think seeing psychologists has been tremendously impactful, very stabilizing. They’ve helped me put order in my thinking.

    Nothing. Am I perfect? No. Would I want to be? Why would i? Who’s perfect? According to whose criteria? And what’s the point of « perfection », anyway? There’s beauty in wrinkles, and uneven skintones, and scars. There’s soul in every little crack in somebody’s voice, soul in other unpredictable traits. I love old family pictures, with
