Compassion is a funny word when we are considering relationships. If we are brave and honest, then why do we also need to be compassionate? What gives? Well, I once heard or read a quote and you’ll forgive me because I cannot attribute it to its owner/author (but I certainly will if you want to… Continue reading Day 125.

Bravery. Maybe when you read the word bravery you felt a little chuckle bubble up again. Maybe you thought I was being humorous. I wasn’t. If you read every word (or listened to) my post from yesterday, you recognized a quality that is absolutely critical in living an honest life. It’s really hard to be… Continue reading Day 124.

Hi there. Happy Monday. I kind of liked the series chats we’ve been having, so I thought why not continue them? The topic for the discussion this week came to me rather quickly and then I sort of laughed at myself and then I came back to it again. I’m going to share my thought… Continue reading Day 123.

The night of the conversation with my friend, I watched the movie ‘The F**k It List’. I can’t say I recommend it per se. It was cute and enjoyable. I more liked the bottom-line message and it felt really appropriate based on how I was feeling and what I was thinking about. The basic premise,… Continue reading Days 120-122.

The grind? What do I mean by that? I mean the work that needs to get done to process all the thoughts and feelings I’ve shared and make the changes to protect myself. People protect themselves in all different ways. Some people use drugs or drinking or other vices. Some people sleep a lot. Some… Continue reading Day 119.

The conversation with my friend that was the basis of well, this entire week’s chats, went off the rails at some point. Not for him, but for me. I know exactly what that point was because I remember feeling kind of bummed and experiencing that bad belly feeling that comes when I’m hearing something that… Continue reading Day 118.

Hey. Hope I didn’t leave you feeling too rain cloud-ish yesterday. That was not my intention at all. I’m not trying to drag anyone down or give anyone a bleak perspective on humans or dating or anything of the like. What I’m discovering is that the more I learn, the more I understand, the better… Continue reading Day 117.

Hey there. Happy Monday. I didn’t set out to make these last few weeks “serial” in nature, but somehow they turned out that way. It’s not necessarily a surprise to me when my brain functions this way because I think most of us have this or a similar cognitive or information-processing technique. I like to… Continue reading Day 116.

Is there any personality more infuriating than the non-performer? I mean sure, there’s a few. But really, non-performers are absolutely exhausting and well, enraging. The thing with non-performers is that it doesn’t really matter why they don’t perform. Their intention or reasoning doesn’t factor into my frustration. Why? Well, because I am not talking about… Continue reading Days 113-115.

Ah, the magical disenchanter. The individual responsible for freeing all from their illusions.  Maybe you’ve never encountered this ‘er before. This is entirely possible but highly unlikely. I find that most of these individuals (and yes, I’m sorry, I’m generalizing) fall into one of the following categories: those who identify as pessimists, those who identify… Continue reading Day 112.
