Perhaps the most foundational aspect to my life are the people around me. I am a very social person, I tend to meet quite a few people and I am never long without someone, if not to date, at least to talk with. It makes the difficulties of life, those that I've faced and the … Continue reading Relationship Status
Water is the greatest drink on Earth. I love how elemental it is. Just three elements is all it takes to create one of the most important aspects to life. Think about it, for a second. You can never be comfortable without a guaranteed source of water. There's just no way to do that, and … Continue reading Sidenote: drinking water
Experience is a tremendously important part of every person's life. It's what defines their interests and disinterests. I wonder why there is so much variety to life in the world. Without knowing much, I'd venture it's got to do with climate and terrain - people will be happier if they live somewhere that things are … Continue reading To be in control
I find the nakedness of blogging really preventative sometimes. Many people who know me have started reading my blog somewhat regularly and it's left me with a bad taste in the mouth. I like that people read my work, but I also find myself wanting to write about these people. Perhaps, I've made this blog … Continue reading The Takeover
Anyone who's read this blog knows that I have a particular fascination with the people who read this thing. I'm incessantly curious about you because why wouldn't I be? It's something special to have people willing to read my thoughts on a semi-regular basis, to have people agree with me to some extent. I guess … Continue reading Why Are You Here?
I'm constantly wondering if I spend my time well. It's weird but I always wonder should I be writing? Should I be contributing something to other people rather than just caring about my own happiness? It's not that I am unhappy, it's more that I know too well what makes me happy. I know that … Continue reading New Things
I'm back at Queen's for my last year. Well maybe, I haven't decided on taking a fifth year yet. Initially, I came to Kingston to study chemistry but I was not a fan of the laboratory life. But that's a story for another time. The first week back is always fun. Frosh week comes and … Continue reading Frosh Week Colds
Usually, I am not proud of things I have no personal claim over. This blog and my other writings make me fiercely joyful, I am completely self-made in this field and have not had help from anyone but good editors really. So, I was not expecting to care about being Hungarian when I came to … Continue reading Hungarian Dancing in Budapest
The other day I visited the Melk Abbey in Austria. It was about an hour train ride to the town from Vienna, the Abbey itself was visible above the entire town like some shining Sun with it's brilliant yellow exterior. Stift Melk, as it's known in German, was reconstructed in Baroque effervescence in the mid-18th … Continue reading Perspective in Melk Abbey
A good friend of mine lost his Grandfather recently. He was not without grief or a sense of loss but he understood the occurrence and his inability to change it. I have an appreciation for anything so stoic, anything that I think Marcus Aurelius would've done, so it's no surprise that I found my friend … Continue reading Loss and Life
