The Bear, or How To Get Everything You Wished For (Seriously)

There are several rules, here are the first three, and the rest are shared below: 1. For this to work, you must be tastefully insane. You must maintain a delicate degree of madness at all times. If you are a woman, in the world, especially one who suffers the indignity of dating men, this is easy to achieve. 2. You must never keep your wishes a secret. 3. Wishes produce better results when [...]

Golden Brown

Morgan: Most people want a love you can brag about on social media, while my beloved and I want a love that could fit right into an Arthurian Legend.

Even Angels need a Holiday

Morgan: So happy my beloved is enjoying a vacation far away from noise and exhausting family duties and can at last breathe easy. She is already taking pictures (I knew she would) and planning out where to visit from a nice quiet room without the constant sound of birds and planes at all hours. If anyone deserves it, it is her with how hard she has worked up to this point.

Exciting Discovery!

Morgan: Today I found a new book for our collection: Arabian Nights. I also learned a new word, "Unexpurgated". And now that I know what that word means... What is in this tome that denotes the need for that clarification?

Not necessarily mistakes…

Daily writing promptWhat are the biggest mistakes people make when visiting your country?View all responses Morgan: I wouldn't call it a mistake but mostly only visiting tourist attractions or heavily commercialized places like California, Florida, or New York when there are more things (and in my opinion, far better things) in America to see if you let yourself get lost. I know when people are visiting, they may not have the luxury of time or money (which I mourn) but there are a lot of […]

I love it.

Morgan: Nothing better than writing a story and having a smart partner who is a great writer in her own right who can look at my work and teach me more cohesive ways to tell my story. It's the first time I ever had a partner so involved in my writing. Any other time I shared my writing with people the best they would give is "Oh that is nice." then move on. She is the first to really get into it and bounce ideas with me on what can be said better, and I take them all to heart incorporating […]

Aaron Smith – Dancin

Daily writing promptWhat’s a song that always puts you in a good mood?View all responses Morgan: The music video of the dude dancing in the mall is such a vibe and is one of the few songs that makes me actually want to dance. There are also lines that make me smile thinking about my beloved sprinkled in, so I return to it often. Can't beat a classic!

Be Prepared

Morgan: As my beloved's time of arrival draws ever nearer, I have been frantically preparing my home to receive her. Back when I was in my old apartment I pretty much decorated my place with whatever I felt like and to say the least it was tragically barren. In my living room there was naught but a coat hanger, a couch, and a tv stand someone left on the sidewalk. It was very empty feeling. Now I have the chance to actually focus on what makes a place feel lived in and inviting rather than […]

Ah Memories. Old Story but Fun One.

Morgan: I believe I was in elementary school sitting at my desk and I thought I needed to read long books to act like an adult (Truly sound logic) so the first long book that I read from start to finish of my own volition (though admittedly I did want to stop a few times) was R.L. Stines "The Barking Ghost" and while it is not one of my favorite stories it DID start my insatiable desire to read books. After that I devoured books and was completing Accelerated Reader tests at an exemplary […]

Ours

Daily writing promptIf you had to describe your ideal life, what would it look like?View all responses Morgan: Living in an off-grid cabin together raising goats and living off the land not worrying about bosses, time clocks or having to make excuses when calling in sick. Just living free to do as we wish and pursue our hobbies and live a quiet life together.

Simple

Daily writing promptHow can you build a regular fitness routine?View all responses Morgan: Having an Indian girlfriend that eggs you on with how big your streak of days completed is getting and that motivates you to keep going because NOTHING CAN BE ALLOWED TO BREAK THE STREAK!!!

Not exactly IN the city

Daily writing promptWhich is the best thing to do in your city?View all responses Morgan: In the state I live in there are a lot of roads that lead to miles of absolutely nothing except dirt where people don't really build anything because it takes time and resources that can be better spent elsewhere. If you manage to navigate out of the towns and cities out to those places, then it is actually pretty peaceful. You will hear nothing but the wind and the crunch of your own feet for miles. […]

Sojourner Truth

Daily writing promptWho are some underrated people in history?View all responses Morgan: Sorjourner Truth was a black woman who managed to escape her slave owner James Dumont after he broke his promise to free her and later sued him in 1828 for the return her son making her the first black woman to win a court case against a white man. Later she gave her famous "Ain't I a woman" speech at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention of 1851 challenging the idea that women were too fragile for equal […]

My Historian

Morgan: I love asking my beloved history questions and hearing her in depth and detailed answers to all of them. Even if I don't understand the context all the time, it is fun to see her passion when discussing it.

Our world, Your world.

Daily writing promptWhat does freedom mean to you?View all responses Morgan: A world without leaders. A world without borders. A world without wars. A world without money. A world without nihilists. These are relics rendered obsolete by the blessing of abundance. What people fail to realize is the rich Earth has enough RIGHT NOW to feed, clothe, shelter, and treat everyone tenfold over. The only reason we aren't able to do so is we have our tendons cut from birth before we are even able to […]

Ours

Daily writing promptWhat is your career plan?View all responses Morgan: Ours is pretty simple. Save enough money to buy some land far away from people and raise our own livestock and crops living an agrarian lifestyle. Seems more fulfilling than just working 40 years till we die for money we will never see a cent of and we will have time to work on our passions as we see fit while reaping the fruits of our labor.

Stunning Linguist

Morgan: I admire my lovely girlfriend who can pivot from learning German to Spanish at the drop of a hat. At the rate she is going, places here will be clamoring to hire her because she is so smart.

I do not

Daily writing promptWhat do you do to be involved in the community?View all responses Morgan: I have at best 3 people in my immediate life who I talk to. The rest of the time I stay in my apartment hiding from people. If I didn't go out to feed the birds, it would be fair for my neighbors to assume my place is just haunted since they almost never see or speak to me. Did suddenly become popular in India though which I find very much funny.

Long live the king.

Daily writing promptWhat's a job you would like to do for just one day?View all responses Morgan: I wanna be Willie Nelson's assistant just for the chance to see all his weed smoking paraphernalia and I assume he would pay well enough after one day that I could buy my girl a lovely pendant.

At this rate…

Morgan: Indian men need to start stepping up before all the women of India are swooped up by us charming white boys.

Sadly

Daily writing promptDo you vote in political elections?View all responses Morgan: Not really. It is hard to feel like my vote matters when no one being elected is one I chose nor do most if any of them follow policies I want like school reform and job markets. I have become very apathetic to the whole process. I feel we need to depose the whole lot of old gits and replace them with some new blood that is actually willing to take risks and make change. The world has had more than enough of […]

“Beige”

Today while scrolling through Instragram reels, I came across a very pretty colourful home where a woman and her husband were decorating the interiors. A song was playing in the background and the caption read "The one thing you definitely won't find in my home is- Beige male energy" and everyone in the comments vehemently supported that (which is not a bad thing). Earlier, I also saw similar reels where the women would write how they want colourful houses and their husbands not just support […]

Her

Daily writing promptWhat gives you direction in life?View all responses Morgan: The ideal that if I do my best I can provide her with the life she deserves. That is why I work so hard writing, reading, exercising, learning to cook and eating well. I don't want my beloved to have to take care of me regardless of my disability. I want to give her the husband and life she deserves.

Couple goals

Mou: It was a random morning in Arizona when he woke up and texted me "Contemplating if I should go cycling", to which I replied "That's great, you should." And lo and behold, ever since that day I made him go every single day turning it into a whole streak well knowing that he wouldn't like to give up if I turned this into a streak (I implemented this from his very own idea of posting here everyday and texting me how he's on a 26 day streak). I did gave him two day breaks but he insisted […]

Thanksgiving

Daily writing promptWhat is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?View all responses Morgan: It's the one time of the year, when though a major holiday it is not as obnoxious as others. To my fellow Americans, how many times have you gone to a store and as soon as Halloween is over, they are setting up Christmas decorations when its two months away? There is more decorating done for the Superbowl than Thanksgiving (And I don't even watch football). Mariah Carey isn't on the radio […]

My Element

Morgan: When I am sitting at my computer silently focusing on a Word Doc trying to figure out what I want to change and how I want to word it. It becomes a complex mathematical problem that I intend to solve. I become a completely different person. Usually, I am very relaxed and jovial, but when I get "in the zone" I am utterly silent and laser focused. Nothing but the sound of typing keys. I lock in and when I come back to, there is paragraphs of new text to go through. That is when I feel […]

Day 5

Morgan: Day 5 of getting fit for my beloved. Started with bike riding and now doing stretches and pushups with it (though comparatively little) but I am getting there. Makes me ravenously hungry though, thankfully I got rice in the fridge waiting for me and singing their sweet siren song.

A Man’s Truth

Morgan: It is my firmest conviction that a good man can only become a great man if he has a good woman beside him. Before I met my future wife, I was settled to merely exist working whatever job would take me a few months, eat whatever I could get my hands on, and waste my days playing video games in the dark. A ghost to humanity if there ever was one. Since I have met her my life has only ever gotten better. Working on my writing, exercising and eating healthier than I ever have in my whole […]

What it’s like dating an overachiever

Morgan: It's crazy to be dating someone who knows more about the individual states in the country I live in than I do. She knows places here in my state that I never even heard of. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if she knew the ethnic population of every state off the top of her head. This is what it is like dating an overachiever and I love it.
