Leaving Africa Made Me Realize How Lucky I Am To Be African
Out of nowhere, the tears began to flow. They took me by surprise. "Bye Dad," I whispered as I fixed my eyes on the Helderberg Mountains. I began sobbing quietly as the plane shifted and the Hottentots-Holland Range came into view. We had scattered my father's ashes there months prior. His soul was now at rest in the mountains that made him so happy for two decades.

Read when you're in Miami
2/25/25 Mac's Club Deuce, Miami FL You will always be my special friend, Drinking a Jai Alai & a margarita at this dive in my twin's old neighborhood. This was where she had her first legal drink at 21. The first time I came to visit her, we were reunited for the first time in years after we'd left home. She lived in an apartment blocks from the beach with someone she doesn't know any more. Life works like that; we spend so much time with our special friends, lovers, even family members that we don't see again once the tide goes out.

The Uncharming Truth About Dancing Snakes
(Content note - animal cruelty) I ought to be ashamed to admit (but am not really, because who doesn't find a stupid idea in their own head occasionally?) that I have a very Bollywood-influenced idea of snake charming, or had until very recently.

The Grief Of Losing A Happy Place
Woke up that morning desperate to see him. Listened to jazz while I made myself look pretty. The anticipation excited me as I pondered which book to take with me, what I would write, eat, feel. Before stepping out of the door, I checked my phone for the route. Trains cancelled. Why, why would they stand in our way? Though, my thrill would not be dampened by this delay, so I took another route in his direction. Three times the duration and more the effort, the only thing getting me through was knowing it would lead me to him. Perhaps the sun would be dimmer and my eyes a little wearier but I would spark to life the moment I walked through his doors and into his beating heart. Finally, I arrived. Walked past the bookstores and galleries with a skip in my step. All of the surrounding chaos would dissipate the moment we would meet. I turned the corner and there he was, lifeless. My feet stopped for a moment, then slowly edged towards him. Standing before a locked door, frozen, in shock. It felt surreal, and I was not so sure my strength could carry me much further. I lowered my body to the cold step, and I weeped.

The Quest for Immortality: Can Science Make Us Live Forever
Presently, we all know that humans can't be immortal, right? Well, futurist Ray Kurzweil says otherwise. He claims that achieving immortality might be closer than we think—possibly within the next 7 years. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but he and his team are pushing the boundaries of reality like expert yogis.
