Dear Steve Jobs, I've been a fan of yours for as long as I've known you've existed, and although I'm fully aware that you're dead, I'd still like to thank you. Thank you for being a leader in the world of creating sleek modernity. When people think "modern," they think of the neutral silvers and blacks that make up your devices, and slim, crisp lines. Windows 10 tried hard, but they didn't make it. To borrow a word from my father, Apple devices are simply always going to be "sexy"-er. I've been told that your imagined Apple was of bright colors and weird shapes. Thank you for giving that up. Most sincerely, Audrey xoxo

I finally have my own laptop, and so I'm going to make it a goal to write more, because it's easier now. So, attempt number one. In the last couple years I've discovered my capability for empathy. It's almost like I'm the Grinch, and my heart grew much, much bigger than I was used to. And that sounds great and all, but there's a MASSIVE side effect of that: I don't know how to care about people. All of a sudden, people turn to me for help. They turn to me when they feel pain or betrayed or lonely. I love that they trust me enough, and I care about them enough that I genuinely want to help them (even going so far as to never be able to think about anything else, hence the blog post). However, I don't know how to comfort people. I don't know what to do when my friend is crying or how to tell someone that I'm always going to be there for them. I don't know how to be appropriately sentimental. I spent so long not being emotional that I don't know how to do it correctly. Is there a right way to be emotional and empathetic? Or is it just one of those things you can feel your way through?
