The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

If You Feel Like Being a Peach

I would be completely stoked to receive any letters, cards, or postcards...

But if anyone is feeling especially generous, the following is a list of things I wouldn't be opposed to receiving in a care package:

- Flavored instant coffee
- The Economist or National Geographic magazines
- Masking tape (for some reason, tape here fails to adhere things together)
- Colored tights
- Gummy Bears
- Dark colored headbands
- Books you have laying around that you think might interest me; in particular:
  • Persepolis
  • The Communist Manifesto
  • Wuthering Heights
  • The Borderland (about the history of Ukraine)
  • Pedagogy of the Oppressed
  • Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout
  • Anything about Ukraine, or the Голодомор/holodomor (the induced famine in Ukraine)
