  • The monster and the cocoon.

    A monster is a monster, no matter what. I honestly cringe at realizing or acknowledging  this, but it’s true. I need to constantly remind myself this. Sometimes monsters hide, even in plain sight. We also have preconceived notions of what one is, what it looks like, and our precepctions predetermined. Abuse comes in different shapes…

  • I gotta secret…

    I don’t get it sometimes…..I would consider myself a good person.  I live my life right. I’ve even had people tease me about it. You get back what you cast out, no? I’m just wired that way. To be considerate, understanding,  and kind. If more people practiced that, the world would be a WAY better…

  • It is not down on any map; true places never are.

    Life is hard sometimes….too bad there wasn’t an easy way to navigate through it. I always hear that it’s what you make of it, and it is what you make of it, which is true, but that only applies to the things you CAN control….whatever LIFE shows at you is another story. My life didn’t…

  • Watching the world pass by.

    Over the weekend,  my wife and I finally watched a film that was on our radar. The film was called “A Ghost Story “, and it was a very good, thought-provoking movie….for me at least. Basically, the plot is about a man who passes and comes back as a ghost….stuck in the last home he…

  • But my wings have so been denied.

    It’s funny how life just passes us by.  It doesn’t stop for anyone. Up to us to fill in the spaces and make this thing called life what we make it. But, still have to deal with things at hand, and also make the best decisions we can for ourselves and thise around us. I…

  • I’m lookin’ for balance…

    As of late, I have been doing a lot of thinking and discussing my situation. In a past posting, I quickly spoke about a film my wife and I watched on Netflix called “May December“. I highly recommend the film, but be warned, it can trigger some, especially if you have suffered any type of…

  • Did my time…

    When she died,  I felt free. I did. But at the same time lost. My life was unconventional and I didn’t know what end was up. I got over the grieving stages,  but the damage was done. As time went on, I  came to a few realizations and clarifications as well. Done was the manipulation…

  • Gotta be who I know I am inside.

    This may be a tough one…. My wife and I watched a movie a few days ago that kind of hit me and stayed with me… even writing this. It was a film called May December, and I guess it’s loosely based on the Mary Kay Letourneau case. For those not familiar,  in a nutshell,…

  • Sweat the small stuff.

    So which one is it? Sweat the small stuff, or focus on them? I guess perspective comes into play. With the chaos that the world is today, a lot of things pop up into our lives, and it’s easy to forget the small “wins” or “victories” we deal with on the daily. But what do…

  • I don’t care anymore.

    I find the older I get, the less things affect me….Sort of. Things are getting old, repetitive, and in this world, things don’t really matter anymore. Sounds negative, but it’s not. I think a lot see where I am coming from, and even agree with this. Life’s too short, sweating the small stuff is a…
