  • Journaling Practice: I Did It

    After almost 10 years I think I’ve finally found a journaling practice that actually works for me! I’ve wanted to be a person that journals regularly for a very long time but it wasn’t considered “cool” and back then I didn’t want to do anything that would cause me to stand out or be ridiculed.…

  • Photography Journey: Next Steps

    I spent 6 days in New York City in September and it helped me determine where I want to go with my photography. I gravitate towards street photography and have for the last 3-4 years. The “problem” is that I live in a place where I can’t really explore the genre. I’ve gone to events…

  • Print. Your. Pictures

    If you’re like me you have a phone that probably has thousands of pictures. From random snaps out and about to composed shots that you absolutely love. How often do you look at them? For me, I rarely ever go back and scroll through them. In my last post I mentioned that I’d moved to…

  • A Quick One

    I sold the house I’d been in for almost 20 years and moved into a pretty great apartment closer to the people/places/things I care about and I really couldn’t be happier! I’ve not felt this light for a very, very long time and I felt compelled to sit down and write this on my new…

  • How Do You Remember?

    I find myself realizing a lot lately that I am in the midst of “The Good Ole Days”. It finally feels like those moments that I’ve wanted for so long, the hanging out with friends around a campfire, the close intimate dinners and conversations with a partner are finally happening for me! How do I…

  • Things and Such

    It has been far longer than I anticipated since my last post. I have stayed busy with Life and everything that comes with it. I’m on vacation for a few days and fully intended to write a few posts here about the Life I’m living now along with a few projects I’ve been working on.…

  • ReEvaluating

    This isn’t the the first post of 2026 I planned on making, in fact I just decided to write this about 30 seconds ago. I’m not planning on making any edits here so it’s going to be a stream of consciousness type post. I read and listen to a lot of of “self help/philosophy/big question”…

  • So Hard

    Why is it so hard to believe in myself? I’m laying here at almost midnight and my brain is running through all the ways I can fail both profesionally and personally. That in and of itself isn’t a new thing for me. Most nights I have those thoughts, hell, most days I have to those…

  • Rough

    It’s been a rough few months. I don’t know if I’m back to posting regularly on here or not. I’ve been in survival mode and now I feel like I’m starting to come out of it I don’t want to jump back hard and heavy into anything and get overwhelmed again. I call the last…

  • Blocked

    I’ve gone quiet here. Because I don’t know what to say. My brain reels trying to take in everything that’s happening in my life, in the world and turn it into something, anything. And I can’t. I’m angry, I’m sad, I’m frustrated and all the other bad feelings that I can’t think of right now.…

Got any book recommendations?
