when the ground swallows the sun it emits a glow
that always stirs a passion within the chest of beholder
and it feels as though such beauty has never been observed
by any other eyes!
however
to feel special is to forget the size of the world
and to allow for contempt and comparison
to navigate you far away.
to feel pride is fine
to look at your creation and smile is
invigorating!
but to own an experience is foolish
you can lord over your corner of the world!
you can stake claim over every moment
but you will not become immortal.
why would you want to feel unique when
shared experience is where humanity lives?

Scroll No More!
As streaming services continuously fine-tune their recommendation algorithms, it seems unbelievable that we still waste so much time indecisively scrolling through titles. How are we not finding a show or movie among genres as specific as “Alien Sci-Fi Featuring a Strong Female Lead” and “20th Century Period Pieces based on bestsellers”? What’s the deal? Are we being overwhelmed with choices? Is the algorithm just not precise enough?
