As someone who loves to write, I fear having writer's block. I think so many things, most of which I jot down with the intent of writing about later on, but unfortunately, I find myself trying to explain the unexplainable. I use writing as an attempt to try to solve problems, sort thoughts and answer questions that I am not equipped to do, and even when my questions and thoughts are less serious, I still have no explanation. Here is what I mean:

1. Why are we so lonely in such a hyperconnected world?

Technology is more advanced than ever before, and we can talk to anyone in the world within seconds, yet 72% of Americans report feeling lonely. This technology will only continue to become more advanced, so at what point will our interpersonal relationships become as connected as our technology?

2. Why are there two camel emojis but not one manatee emoji?

Manatees matter! I did a project on them once in the fourth grade. Though one camel has one hump and the other has two, I can almost assure you that there are hundreds of other animals that can fill that space.

3. Why is "marshmallow" spelled as such but pronounced as "marshmellow"?

Of course there's an endless list of words that sound different than they are spelled, but marshmallow seems to get me every time.

4. Water is not wet

It's just not. In order for something to be wet, it needs to be able to dry. Water can not dry. Instead, the surface that water is on can become dry, but the water itself can never become dry. This is one of those highly controversial issues that I claim I have the answer to yet probably never will, so who knows what the real answer is?

5. Nothing is on fire, fire is on things

Another one of those highly controversial issues that I could be totally wrong about. But in thinking about it, objects cannot be extinguished from a fire. Fire is the only thing that can be extinguished from things.

6. Are we closer to our birth or our death?

Our death date is undetermined, so this question goes unanswered until we're old enough to assume.

7. If gym membership rates were based on how many times you don't go, would you be more inclined to go or would you not have a membership at all?

I don't have the funds to support the price that I would be charged for not showing up, so I would definitely not have a gym membership. Oh, how the other half lives!

8. Our stomachs think that all potato is mashed

What.

9. "Strap on"backward is "no parts"

Now you're looking at it and your eyes are probably bulging. Language is a crazy thing, my friends.

10. We will be the last people to die in our lifetimes

Trippy.

11. Why is it called a building if it's already built?

Verb tenses! We learned about them in elementary school.

12. Which orange came first, the color or the fruit?

I would say the color because the fruit is named after its color, but what if the color was named after the fruit was created?

13. You can't breathe and swallow at the same time

I know you just tried it. You can't - thanks for proving my point.

14. If we use emojis so much that they replace our writing, are they considered modern-day hieroglyphics?

Like the old adage says, history repeats itself.

15. If I touch my phone in the right places enough times, a pizza will show up at my front door

Think about it.

You're probably freaking out. It's fine, I am too. But what are we going to do about it? Nothing. We're freaking out because we know that we can't figure out the answers.
