May you live in interesting times
My dad has often said this to me over the years, usually when we are discussing politics. My retort is always the same: “id rather live in a boring era full of nothing going on” My reason being that “interesting times” from a history perspective are usually not very fun for the people living in Continue reading

The climb
I don’t think i will ever reach the mountaintop i see in my dreams. That misty place where i see a version of myself that has accepted everything as it is.

Lessons
I’m in a period in my life right now where a lot has happened, and I have had to re-learn some lessons I thought I had already mastered. They were some pretty big ones, too. I lost myself in a relationship that asked for too much of me, I cut off a friend I should Continue reading

On Passion and Fear
What could be a passion? Where do I find such a thing? My feelings always seem fleeting from one thing to the next, the only thing enduring is the sureness that I will find something new soon. But here we are! I say. Might as well make peace with it! But does it have to Continue reading
