But You Almost Died!
Photo by Juan Vargas from Pexels Oh, the drama of a near-death experience. The intense rush of complicated emotions. The heart-racing fear. The mad dash to a hospital where a dozen people paw at your body as you lay there, helpless. If you’re lucky, at some point, you might hear a choir of angels and have a moment... Continue Reading →
I Was Today Years Old
Photo by Robert Collins on Unsplash.com Did you know that there are people in this world that wake up with a smile on their face? Their alarm goes off, they fling off the blanket and look at the sun streaming through their curtains. They sigh, not out of exhaustion or exasperation, but contentment. They feel...

A Realist Walks Into A Magical Forest
Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash.com The wind is howling outside my window. I think the building just shuddered or was that a flinch? The glass is rattling. The trees are bending and twisting.

And Pivot!

As Controversial As A Porg
Photo By Matteo Catanese on Unsplash.com I’m going to say something so controversial that I think some of you might never talk to me again. There will be rage, hurt, and maybe some tears. Strong emotions. Overwhelming? Perhaps, but just know that your feelings are valid. How you express these feelings might need some fine-tuning.... Continue Reading →
A Case Of The Wibbly Wobbilies
Photo by Jeremy Thomas on Unsplash.com Time. A swirling vortex of mass, substance, and neon luminescent gas. Ever-changing, evolving, turning itself inside and out. A chameleon and a con man. The good guy and the villain. The hero and the arch-nemesis. All-consuming and apathetic. It is everything and it is nothing at all. An illusion.... Continue Reading →
The Meaningless Meaning Of An Outbreak Monkey
Photo by Andrew Neel from Pexels “Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.” ― Henry Miller I’ve been stuck in a time loop for a few weeks so maybe this is coming from a place of madness, loneliness, or too much alone time with my demons.
