I first wrote these short essays between the ages of ten and twelve, in the years 2012-2015. I have kept most of them as I have grown older and refined my approach to the topics discussed in the book. I wanted to capture my thoughts and feelings in this critical period of life, where the thoughts came before the actions. I am now twenty three yeasr old, the time of life when the actions and the thoughts happened at the same time. I hope these essays give some insight into the thought process of an overthinking, pubescent kid tyring to think his way through the world.
