All these memories of the past, Some good, some bad. I rarely reflect on the good; I’ve always had trouble with the bad. Making friends, or keeping them, I’ve not had an issue. But making deep relationships, I’ve only made a few. Maybe this isn’t a bad thing; Maybe this is…

I’ve heard this phrase repeated by a friend a few times: “I go to the gym to deal with my demons.” What does it mean? When I try to deconstruct this phrase and define “demons,” I think of issues in the person’s past. Shortcomings, faults, emotional turmoil, and other abstract…

I like to write sometimes. It clears my head. Gives me focus and often makes me think deeper than I do during life’s banality. Four years ago, I thought I would be in a whole different place than I am right now. Four years before that, my imagination envisioned something…

I’ve been good. I’ve relocated. In a new city away from a support system. It’s exciting, new, and anxiety-inducing. I’ve never relocated this far away from what I have called home for the past 19 years of my life. So it’s a change. It’s much needed. I need to grow…

I’m special but unremarkable, Pivotal but trivial, Essential but replaceable, Common but untraceable.

Currently I’m involved in a project for remodeling a garage. The garage was an old beaten up car port with exposed studs and ugly plywood drop ceiling. We took off the drop ceiling, left the exposed ceiling that follows the frame of the roof, painted it a nice black, and…

There are a few things I need to improve in my life. Building Momentum, Consistency, and Saying what I feel. Of course there may be various other ways that I can build myself up. But these three things are stuff I’m lacking in somewhat. If I build these up, I…

Why do we imagine life in one way yet a completely opposite outcome seems to arise and take us by storm? Are we as humans just that terrible at predicting or creating our destinies or do we lose track and change course? I think it is the latter. While there…

I wonder if life would have been simpler 40, 60, or 80 years ago: before the internet, modern electrical advancements, and high speed transportation. No YouTube to distract us, no comforts to become entitled of, and no transportation that enables physical laziness. I’m not sure. All these advancements give me…
