<3 xkcd.

I’ve always enjoyed reading xkcd, but lately a few of them have been hitting pretty close to home:

  • When did we forget our dreams?
  • You’re curious, smart, and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. (This one’s my desktop right now, and also on my fridge.)
  • Because we’re grownups now, and we get to decide what that means.
  • Hey, I found squirrels!
  • Maybe just having this conversation means we’re lost.
  • The difference.
  • Interesting life.

Their punchline strips are always great too, but it’s the deep ones that are speaking to me right now. How did I ever convince myself that I wasn’t a geek at heart?
