Oh hi. Nice to connect again. Good weekend? Weird as fuck weekend? Terrible weekend? I know that any of these is a real possibility right now. I had this strange out of body experience realizing that it was Memorial Day weekend. It all at once felt nothing like that and everything like that. Did anyone… Continue reading Days 65-68.

Day 64.
I had this moment today where I felt completely overwhelmed. Do you ever feel that way? Like everything just felt overwhelming. Of course, I had to check myself for ALL the reasons. Still employed? Check. Healthy? Check. Friends and family healthy? Check. Roof over my head and food on my table? Check. Anyway, you get… Continue reading Day 64.

“When you are younger You'll wish you're older Then when you're older You'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure.” -Ben Platt, Older Come on, you didn’t think that you were going to go too long without me talking about music, did you? I watched the Ben Platt special… Continue reading Day 63.
Day 62.
I was talking to a friend last night and an interesting comment was made during the course of our conversation that got me thinking. Not a novel concept I know, as I am usually thinking or talking, but still. I don’t think that it was the specific comment itself or more so the underlying implications… Continue reading Day 62.
Day 61.
This morning when I was out for my jog I was stuck at a red light on one of the main roads I cross over. I glanced across the street and saw a woman waiting on the other side to cross. Thankfully I don’t panic anymore when I see this (yes, panic). I just pull… Continue reading Day 61.
Day 60.
I don’t want to mince words or hold back here, because I never have. I am only hesitating at all because I am mindful when it comes to the impact of my words. I want them to help, not harm. I want them to illuminate, not shadow. I don’t wish to be petty. I want… Continue reading Day 60.
Days 57-59.
I can be easy to manipulate. There, I said it. It’s the truth. It’s strange to admit that because so much of my personality and my journey would provide evidence to the contrary. And yet, it happens. More often than I would like, too. I know that one of the reasons I attract the manipulation… Continue reading Days 57-59.
Day 56.
Merriam-Webster defines self-directed as follows: “directed for or by oneself.” That is a pretty concise definition and rather neutral, all things considered. Which makes sense as definitions should literally be an explanation of what something means and not a commentary on whether that ‘thing’ is inherently negative or positive. A fine point but seemingly something… Continue reading Day 56.
Day 55.
Today is day 55. That is going to be the title of this post because that is the title of each post I’ve written since I entered this strange world we are living in right now. I mean I guess the world is always strange, but when the crisis began to impact me directly, I… Continue reading Day 55.
Day 54.
I know many people that are struggling right now. Many of those folks feel overwhelmed because of the situation we currently find ourselves in; navigating through the challenges presented by a pandemic. Some of them feel besieged because they had issues from “before” that they weren’t really dealing with and now they are facing the… Continue reading Day 54.
