…actually, why not?
Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
More postcards and personal letters. More in-person visits. More long conversations. More hours where “unreachable” is real.
More typewriters, Xerox, fax machines. More quiet evenings and comfortable silences, more of the Old World that disappeared.
No more computers? Time would slow down immediately.

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?
It seems so trivial, but it’s so important: Those moments of simple levity. A treasure.
A little more whimsy. A little more “Just Because.” Why? No reason. Just because.

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?
Prio 1: Enjoy existence.

When you grab a snack or get another cup of coffee: do a breathing exercise as well.
Take a moment to recalibrate.
You are here. It is now.
*
We are collectively hurtling through space while circling a star.
We arrive with ourselves, we leave with ourselves.
Everything else is details.

Who dreams of labor but those who cannot escape it?
Why allow your mind to be chained?
Pursue a dream. A real dream, a preposterous thing.
The kind that makes the dull scream: Impossible!
Unshackle your soul from the humdrum.
Think beyond the past.
Dream true dreams.
Live.
