About me

Location	Los Angeles, CA, United States
Introduction	There once existed a box that could traverse innumerable locales. This box contained a description of The Self, but could hold merely 1200 characters. 1200 gems with which to encapsulate nineteen years of experiences, interests, and aspirations. Herein, a debate raged. Should these paltry 1200 characters be used until fully depleted, or should brevity once again shine as the soul of wit? The former had the attraction of more information, but every line created a desire for another, and another. The panic towards the final characters was caused simultaneously by a dearth of choice and too much of it—sure, some things could be replaced, but how to rank them? The latter seemed at once too stark--cold--and too trying: of course it's possible to make a handful of sentences shine, but the ‘right’ choice of words is a statistical anomaly. Would people not, after seeing the same few words ad nauseam, grow weary? The internal debate bore few answers and no concrete decisions. The struggle has been documented as a warning. Atomic Levity is a style blog. Soft Graphite is a smorgasbord of all other topics.
