Certain things in life will always stick out in your mind, irrespective of when they happened. I’ve never been able to figure out why I remember certain things or events with the utmost clarity and yet can’t remember at all something from the day before.

So I am doing my utmost right now to actually be smart. I know, I know… why start something so radically different for myself now? Isn’t it a little late to show up to that party? Probably, but I’m also a crazy dreamer. My decision to engage the rational and logical parts of my brain [...]
