I actually wrote a whole year’s worth of typewriter thoughts before my birthday, but these two are most recent and appear on the same page. Perhaps relatedly, that made them easiest to post.

Life is inundated with tests. Some are small and carry little relevance. Other tests hold the potential to shape lives. Do you remember what you scored on your high school ACT exam? I try to forget.

The only test is whether or not you’re still going. So I wrote these.

The hardest tests should not be judged by how they grade but by how they teach, for failure gives no grade.
