  • Be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

    Recently, my wife and I were discussing our day, and I shared an observation that I have made in the past, which has come up again. Why is it that some people don’t know how to accept kindness and consideration? It’s like they don’t know what to do with it. Even something as simple as a…

  • Things aren’t the way they were before.

    I’m an overweight,  middle-aged dude who has OCD, mixed depression anxiety disorder, social issues, and was a victim of grooming and abuse….think that covers most of it. Not to mention the offshoots or branches that come off such things. How did we get here? How has it driven my life? Is it like this forever?…

  • Off of this chest and I rest again peacefully.

    “You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it“ Don’t know about others,  but sometimes I think about who I really am. How authentic I’m being to myself and others. What level of dishonesty am I carrying or projecting to protect myself from myself and the outside world. I’ve admittedly…

  • Knew not who I was, but listen here.

    We all do. We all have the freedom to choose.  Even if life is not ideal, or the stack is against you, there’s choices and decisions that can be made. I know in my life, especially the last year, it has been challenging. But I had a choice. Do I wallow and perpetuate the negative,…

  • Cause you’re a liar.

    Resolutions…nope. I was never one to make them… Shoot, knowing me, they wouldn’t last anyway. Most people are guilty of this. Why bother? We just need to be completely honest with ourselves and stop using things and making up excuses.  I get it, sometimes things aren’t so cut and dry, but there’s usually a way…usually…

  • Ascend, may you find no resistance…

    Yup, still the holidays. I hope everyone got what they wanted. Me, I’d say that I did. I got more time… more time with my family,  loved ones, and those I care about. Clarity, epiphanies, and avenues for the ongoing journey. Sure, material things are nice, but as I have stated before, none of that…

  • Bad Banana.

    The holidays are upon us….but you know what? I’m not really feeling it. I find also, the older I get, the less, to be honest,  care. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bah-humbug. You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch thing, but the holidays got so…meaningless.  So blah. So… whatever. All my issues aside, the…

  • Yes, I’m older. Yes, I’m moving on…

    Here we are…light at the end of this year’s tunnel. I realize the older I get, more and more things change. Your body, your looks, your mindset, your attitudes. Change is inevitable regardless,  but as you get older, it hits different…at least I think so. Things become somewhat clearer, priorities change. Some changes are natural, …

  • The Bright Side of Life – Melissa Bright

    Today, I’d like to give a special shout out to a person I have met on my journey. Her name is Melissa Bright, and she is a self-worth coach. In the short time I’ve talked to her and interacted, she’s been a big help. I highly recommend you check her out on TikTok, Instagram, and…

  • The Great pretender….

    It’s tiring….really is. And I hate to sound like I’m complaining or looking for sympathy…I’m not, but somethings gotta give. I know what I have to do…all of it’s long overdue. I act like I’m okay,  but I’m not. Not saying there is no good in there, but over the years I have gotten very…
