Imagine waking up tomorrow and civilization is gone.
Not humanity. Not life itself.
Just civilization.
The power grid is dead. The internet is gone. Fuel pumps don’t work. Supply chains have collapsed. The grocery store shelves are empty. Nobody is coming to fix anything.
How long would it take us to get back to where we are today?
The answer is both reassuring and terrifying.

For most of my life, I thought relationship problems were fairly straightforward.
Someone did something annoying. I got annoyed. Someone said something hurtful. I got hurt. Someone acted selfishly. I got angry.

Water damage is one of those things nobody thinks about until it is suddenly the only thing you can think about.
This watches a home’s water use and can shut things off when something seems wrong. It’s not flashy, but it adds a layer of protection that makes sense.
For two years, there was a stranger living at the edges of my life.
He wasn’t someone I knew. I never dated him. I never had a friendship with him. To this day, I don’t even know for certain where he first saw me.

The internet feels permanent.
It’s there when you wake up. It’s there when you go to bed. It’s there when your boss sends an email at 9:47 p.m. and there when you spend twenty minutes watching videos about restoring rusty tools.
