Lessons learned this evening
I can’t melt spoons very well to make roses.
I’m a ritz, not a saltine.
Oh, and there’s just a lot of mystery and intrigue in my life and this world if I maintain my sense of wonder.
‘night.

reflections
I often don’t think about the growth I’ve done in a lifetime. Well, the lifetime I’ve had thus far. The most minute experience can really shape a human being, even if you don’t realize it. If I’m truly honest with myself, I can safely say I’ve lived a life that has been shrouded by the comfort of suburbia, where oftentimes things can look pretty idyllic....

I want to know your story.
I want to hear your talk for hours on end about your life experiences. The things that built you up. The things that broke you down. The things that made your mind stretch.
I want to know you.
The not so pretty parts. The glorious triumphs and victories. The defeats that taught you something necessary. The hopes you hold onto… and those that have been dashed and...

Today was really one of those days that challenged me and my strength. It’s not even about things that happen to me. Things that happen around me. Things that happen to people I care about. I hurt when I see other people in pain. It doesn’t really matter to me where they are in life, what they may have done in the past, whatever. Something derails them or their lives (or worse...

a long overdue personal but splendidly vague entry
This is what I’m good at. Talking in cryptic generalities and concepts to express what I’m feeling without being too forthright, and thereby expose my vulnerability.
But I am vulnerable. Far more than any of you may realize.
I put on a good facade, sure. But let’s face it—beyond the appearance of confidence, stability, self-assurance, or anything like that… there is...
