I really just want one time when someone decides they’ll take that extra burden for me. I’m so tired of being alone.

the real me
"Truth is, philosophy is not so much a subject as a skill: philosophy is disciplined reflection. So there is, there can be, a ‘philosophy of’ anything or an ‘anything philosophy’: philosophy of science, philosophy of language, philosophy of education, philosophy of love, feminist philosophy, legal philosophy, etc. Whenever you’re examining the conceptual foundations, especially for clarity or consistency, you’re doing philosophy. Far from being the least relevant, philosophy is the most relevant: other disciplines deal with who, what, when, where, and how; philosophy deals mostly with why (after dealing with ‘What exactly do you mean?’)."

Tsingy Climbing, Madagascar Stephen Alvarez, National Geographic
Climber John “Razor Sharp” Benson weaves through skin-ripping pinnacles. In Malagasy, the formations are called tsingy, meaning “where one cannot walk barefoot.” The terrain resists intrusions from hunters, hungry cattle, and wildfires.
