Sonder! I really like these first two pieces. Your formatting is so neat and polished and the word choice is somehow just the right blend of academic/scientific and poetic.
This phrasing was beautiful: "you gesture vaguely to the turbid galaxies roiling above overwhelmed" I love how nonchalant that is and yet the turn to "overwhelmed" at the end.

What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though. — J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
