Teach, Learn, Share

I once moved to Africa cuz i wanted to live far away where every big question was asked in a different context. i found out that maybe there's no place far enough away where family doesn't matter, where jealousy doesn't exist, where farting isn't funny, where music isn't fun, and where people don't want more money. i felt a little silly for not seeing it before i left. when i came back, i thot i had it out of my system. but now i think maybe in a few years i'll try it all again.

also, i learned that you can pretty much eat the whole fish. and the whole apple.
