nobody’s thoughts
Reflection on Dad’s birthday, 2021.
It’s kind of absurd how used to being alone I’ve gotten. Experiencing loss forces you to confront the impermanence of all things in your life. It gets really difficult to let new things in, being so aware of the fact that one day they, too, will be gone. 5 minutes ago I broke down because…
A love/hate relationship with time during a pandemic
I am, slowly but surely, reintroducing myself to reality. It’s overwhelming but I’m grateful not to have so much on my plate right now. The smallest tasks seem to be the most difficult to complete. Not having hard deadlines is weird. Even weirder is that I’m finally realizing the benefits of structure… it’s so unlike…
My hope for you

am i an asshole?
My favorite part of 2020 was getting to know my past and making peace with it. The good, the bad, the ugly…especially the ugly. The ugly encompasses my “wrongdoings”; the how and where I may have hurt others and how I’ve hurt myself. This is no easy task. It requires a lot of work, both…
