Oh reader, in this era we live in it seems nobody cares for the the immediacy, the unpredictability, nor even the joys of face to face conversation. With this in mind I decided to join the masses and try my hand at online dating.
And lo! It was today that I saw a woman whose picture was utterly breathtaking. The radiance of her skin aroused me from my ennui, and I knew that the grin in her picture was a calling card to me, inviting me to message her. I carefully composed, fingers shaking, the most artful of messages, something I knew may cause her legs to tremble and her heart to flutter with excitement.
What a treat it is, I thought to myself, that two souls have found each other in this way. This is a story I feel we’ll be recounting for years to come, she and I, to our smartly dressed grandchildren.
“Hey, cute pic”. I fire off, pleased with myself. I wait with bated breath for her response.
“Thanks” she says, and I can almost feel the playfulness through my screen. I can tell that in these messages we have already built a powerful repertoire.
“You’re beautiful” I tell her, treading the fine line between flattering and gushing. But when I read her reply, my stomach lurches and a sense of dread envelopes me…..
“Thanks! :)” I feel sick.
The arrogance, the nerve to accept my compliment makes my skin crawl uncomfortably. The beauty before me has morphed into something worse, something vain and narcissistic. I manage to compose myself long enough to send a reply. “Wow you’re kind of arrogant. And ugly anyway lol”.
I send her a quick photo of my penis and continue on my search for a soulmate.

Tuesday morning, 8 o’clock, I find myself pushing into a crowded train.
How unexpected it was, in such a vile and tedious place, to find myself suddenly struck by a vision of sweetest beauty… But so it did happen, and I shall never forget it, reader. I saw her first as a blur of colour and grace upon the platform, and felt a thrill of pleasure as she stepped into the carriage.
Looking upon her fine, enchanting features, I determined at once I must act, else regret it for the rest of my days upon this wretched earth.
What can a man learn from the great romantic poets of a bygone age? That a man must make his feelings known. Thus I repositioned myself in the carriage, reader, so that I might be able to sort of press against her body unnecessarily. I caught her eye, and reader, I gave her a leery look.
She fixed me with a dreadful glare and pushed through the bodies to a different part of the train. “What a bitch,” I thought to myself. “She’s not even that good looking.”
Will ever I meet a lady worthy of my love?
The type of dog owner we should all aspire to be.
Whatever the answer, your love will be ~pretty sweet~.
Do they just like to shave for the fun of it?

“We’re all humans at the end of the day. We’re all family.”
"My parents came to America from Bangladesh over twenty years ago. My mom got married quite young (22) and her mother even younger (13). At the time, they didn’t have the free will to choose their own path due to their culture (not religion). They never fully finished their education because of it. My mom raised me to pursue an education and career that would allow me to become an independent woman, which is the main reason she left Bangladesh. She knew that her children would be subjected to the same life she had if she stayed.
"Growing up, she always told me that no dream was too big to dream. She always inspired me to become a person that wouldn’t need to rely on others. Based on her own experience, she knew that she wanted me to be able to live a life that I chose for myself. It’s because of her that I’m about to graduate as a Biomedical Engineer from the best program in the country. If it weren’t for her immigrant story, I wouldn’t have been inspired to go this far."

"My parents came from Indonesia with my oldest sister in the 70s. While I was in elementary school a few kids would call me an immigrant. I told my dad about it and he said, “That is what I am, but you are an American.” When I explained that to the bullies, that didn’t stop them. Again I shared this with my dad and this time he said, “Now is the time for action.” He put Enter the Dragon in the VCR and said, “If they think this is what you are shouldn’t they be afraid of you?” The following day at recess the bullies came again and this time I stood my ground and took a fighting stance. They ran and never bothered me again. Prior to that I always tried to fit in or not make waves."

"My parents were Vietnamese refugees who escaped during the war. Of all the life lessons I got from them as I was growing up, I think this one resonated with me the most. I was really excited when I learned I was the only one in my 4th grade class to get 100% on a test, so naturally I told them I must’ve been the best student there. Their response: “Stay humble, because no matter how good you think you are at something, there’s always someone out there that’s better. And though they’re better than you at one thing, you may be better at something else. It’s not a contest to see who’s the best – what’s important is what you can learn from one another.”
