What? Why? Who? And many more stupid questions like those about a wide range of topics are terribly explained by me, Nathan James. Should you believe everything I say? No, because I'm just seeking to understand the world just like you. So join me on this journey full of thoughts and BS to just contemplate everything and unwind. Maybe sometimes we'll just relax and tell stories to learn more about each other.

    Many people use terms such as OCD, Phobic, or depressed for things that really are nowhere near the actual disorder.
