  • On Life: As it is now

    It’s been a while since I’ve felt the need to post anything here. I’ve had ideas come to mind but they’ve been fleeting. I used to only feel the need to write when things were bad or difficult and lately things have been very good! I want to bring balance to my writing and so…

  • Poetry

    I’ve written about my love for a good quote and over the years that love has turned towards poetry. First, just reading or listening to it as it popped up in my day to day and now to seeking it out. I’ve found so many wonderful poets whose words have inspired me, made me smile,…

  • I watch, but I don’t

    I watch YouTube videos every day and every day I want to create a video and every day I don’t I have multiple ideas, even multiple scripts But I don’t I hate the way I lookI hate the way I soundI don’t have enough timeI’m not creative enoughI’m too oldI’m too dumbPeople that I don’t…

  • Life Changes

    I keep thinking and writing about making changes in my life but I don’t do them. I know making big changes isn’t good for me even though it has worked out ok in the past. I feel like I have too much at risk if it’s the wrong decision. If I’m being perfectly honest I…

  • Uninspired

    I’ve been pretty uninspired in my day to day life for the past month or so. Everything has a dull tone to it, even things I regularly enjoy. These feelings come and go with me and have for many, many years. I have clinical depression and I’m not currently on any type of medication for…

  • On Anger

    I struggle with getting angry over things that I have no control over. Things like traffic, others being late and most recently random power outages. I’ve been getting better at just letting those things go and not letting them ruin my day. This morning the power went out, yet again, and I was almost instantly…

  • Everyone Has A Story

    Years ago when my dad died, I was flying home for the funeral. It was night time and the view out the airplane window was just dots of light along with the glitter of street lights. I distinctly remember thinking that every house light, car headlight was tied to a person with a story. What…

  • Take the Damn Picture!

    This is mainly a reminder for myself to just stop for 5 min and take the pic. I was out for a drive tonight and passed by a local building that I’ve passed thousands of times but this particular night the outside lights and sunset made it look really interesting, but I drove by. About…

  • Accountability III

    Things have been going pretty well on all fronts for me. I’m happy and terrified at that. Mostly because I’ve started really strong on various things and then, inevitably I drop off. That’s what I’m currently waiting for, the drop off. I don’t like feeling that way but it’s been such a constant thing for…

  • A story about a book

    Last Monday I watched a random YouTube video on a channel I’d never seen before. A quote came on the screen from a book I’d never heard of. The object isn’t to make art, it’s to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable. – Robert Henri I bought the book based on that…
