  • Expecting … Nothing

    My anxiety shows up as trying to map every possible outcome of every decision I make. Meeting up with friends? I have to look at the route to the place we’re meeting, the parking situation, the possible conversation topics and plan out potential replies. When it’s time to go do the thing I’m so exhausted…

  • Good Things

    It’s been a good week! That’s really all I have to say right now! 🙂

  • A Moment

    I was out looking for something in my shop this morning and had a bit of a moment. I saw this old leather conditioner that was in my dad’s shoe shine kit. I remember it being there for as far back as I can remember so I’m pretty sure it’s at least as old as…

  • Frozen in time

    We had snow this week and I wanted a snowflake pic but didn’t have the energy to break out the big camera so I tried to get one with my phone. This snowflake only exists here now. I love this shot!

  • Overthinking, Over Analyzing

    I continue to be stuck in this loop of thinking about big life decisions, planning out how to implement them, getting discouraged, getting depressed, giving up and then restarting the whole process. I’m afraid. I’m afraid to make the wrong decision or mess up the right decision so I don’t make any decision which is…

  • An Awkward 33 Minutes

    Yesterday I decided to go to one of my favorite places, the bookstore. After walking around for a bit and, of course, finding 2 books to add to my forever growing “To Be Read Pile”, I decided I wanted some sushi. The closest place was Konki and I’d never been there so off I went.…

  • Boring and Uninteresting

  • Distractions From The Outside World

    The world is ever shifting and it seems daily we’re living in new unprecedented times. Personally, I’m so tired of the constant news cycle with one story being worse than the last. Everyone is so on edge, myself included. I’ve taken a step back from all social media sites and that’s definitely helped. I’ve also…

  • My Third Place

    I’ve read about third places over the years but I’ve never really had a place that I considered a third place. If you’re not familiar with what third places are here’s the Wikipedia article on it. There’s a ton of other articles about them but in a nutshell a third place is a place one…

  • Just Start

    I’ve dreamed of making videos for almost 9 years. Back in 2017 I started a YouTube channel about motorcycles and created a few motovlogs because that was the “hot” thing back then. Then, I stopped and never did it again. I really enjoyed the entire process that went into creating a video and posting it…
