Everyday Stories, Lived

  • Lonely people doing crazy things

    In my previous blog post, I told you how this taxi driver shared hilarious stories. I never really asked for them, but he shared them freely as if you were paying for entertainment, buckled in a front seat of a comedy bar.

  • The entertainer behind the wheel

    I used to be creeped out by taxi drivers being extra talkative. One, we just met. So it’s awkward to be caught in a small place and be forced to talk back to a total stranger, yes? And two, there are a lot of things running in my head that having another voice seems overkill.… Read more

  • The space, silence, and loneliness

    There’s a kind of space in our lives that we long to be filled. And no matter how hard we try, we can only bear the loneliness at a point. Beyond that, it becomes too depressing. And the noise in my head is so loud that it’s all I hear. Or perhaps, the room is… Read more
