Anxiety is crushing. I’d expand but you either know the feeling or you do not. So anxiety is crushing, but so is gravity. Gravity did not stop us from shooting for the moon did it? It does not stop us from trying to play baseball. Can you escape gravity? Certainly…just break through the atmosphere. If […]

22:32-22:47

A rough few days will turn into a rough few weeks and a rough few years if you let it. Easier said than done, but don’t let it. You control every minute of how you feel, even if you don’t see it that way. Even when you feel like you have no control. It is […]

Cartographs

I’ve spent a great deal of time mapping out what I wanted to, but as we all find out, life will not go according to plan. I’ve re-drawn the map dozens of time in my mind, but it doesn’t matter; it’ll change again. This time I changed it myself, but I’m still unsure if it’s […]

Lifetime Subscription

I’ve subscribed to Loneliness. It seems to suit me well, and I’ve found comfort in it more often than not I suppose. Free from the responsibility of the care of others, and a sadness that reminds me of happier times, loneliness is something I’ve come to know so well. I have become well adjusted to […]

Self Preservation

Just because I see the cracks in the mirror, doesn’t mean anyone else will. I’ve taken the time to study myself. I said I’d be here all year, but I realized that I write this for myself, and so far I’ve only needed it in November. But today brought me something else. When I […]

Paint it Red

The white flag is a sign of surrender. In recent years, I’ve refused to quit anything I’ve started. I’ve created a set of values for myself, and decided to stick to them, regardless of the consequences. If you remember Rule Number One, then you will remember that I do not tolerate disrespect. I have stood […]

Acceptance and Some Change

I’ve come to realize there is no hidden meaning most of the time. Things just happen, often at inconvenient times. That does not mean that we will enjoy what happens, or that it can somehow benefit us; but whatever it is, it is going to happen. “What happened, happened and couldn’t have happened any other […]

Anonymous

It’s this way for a reason. Focus on my words…they are far more important than the speaker. I have gained knowledge from leaders and from the homeless, who approached me. I took the time to listen, and I was wrong in thinking I had nothing to offer them. I had my time, and a listening […]

Magnetic North

Where did we go wrong? Somehow, we lost sight of the most important thing we have ever been given: Life. We give it such little value. Drop your social media for a day. For a week. For a month. For a year. For a moment, just for a moment, care not what others think of […]

Yesterday’s Offer

It is often said to be happy, one must live in the present. There is something to that, as the anxiety of yesterday and tomorrow can distract us from what’s most important. But it’s not always true. Yesterday still offers something, a chance to learn; that’s why we study history. “I’m glad you used […]
