My 18 year old sister is off finding herself and her life purpose in the depths of Central/South America and once every two weeks or I’ll get an email detailing her recent experiences and why she is better than everyone else. Since leaving her job because it was “stifling her creative nature”, she began hiking around Chile with a group of travelers she chanced upon. She recently left that group because they wouldn’t stop talking to her which didn’t allow her to “commune with nature” the way she wanted to and she hasn’t seen 127 hours so she isn’t aware of the dangers of solo climbing. Since she left the group, she was camping alone, in forests, but she reassured me it was fine because, you know, she had a knife. Great. So, I was relieved when I heard she was going to some organic farm to pick strawberries for a few months. Safety, groups of people, etc. Today, after not hearing from her for 3 weeks and fearing that she was in a crevasse somewhere with one arm, I get an email with this link:

and a note that says: “annie- this really made rap music accessible to the other strawberry pickers. love- mir”. I promptly wrote her back insisting that she come home immediately. If you’ll notice, this link is not rap and my sister is not joking.
