Abolishing The Always
Photo by JR Korpa on unsplash.com As a general rule, I choose to live my life in that awkward grey space that sits between two extremes. Life, as I’ve experienced it, isn’t all white or all black. It’s rarely all good or all bad. Most of the time, my journey has been a mix of... 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?

The Eviction Of My Own Mind
Photo by JR Korpa on Unsplash.com Three weeks. I was locked up, alone with my thoughts, for three whole weeks. Thanks a lot, COVID! Being sick sucked.

A Moment of Pettiness And Petulance
Photo by: Andre Hunter on Unsplash.com I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to sit down and write. I don’t think I have anything to say that will be of value or contribute to the greater discourse.

Nobody Panic But…

Vivid imagery whips around my mind as if it’s caught in the winds of a hurricane. Short stories, memories, ideas, and my deepest fears collide.... Continue Reading →
Raging Sh!t Storm

Thoughts From The In-Between
(Fair warning: This post will be all over the place because my mind is experiencing zero G’s and I don’t have much control over it.) I've sat down to write this post a half dozen times over the last three days but every word I type feels disingenuous. They aren’t wrong and the topics really... Continue Reading →
