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.

Hiya. I know you’ve missed my song references. You have, right? I knew it. Well don’t you worry your pretty little heads. I got you. The inspiration for this ‘er came to me when I was listening to the ‘top hits’ that Apple Music picked out for me this past weekend. Natalie Taylor released a… Continue reading Day 111.

Hey there. Let’s just jump in, shall we? Please don’t tell me you don’t know any fakers. Please. You might have consciously decided to separate from the fake people in your life and kudos to you. You might have kept some fakers around but moved them to the periphery (clapping hands emoji). But don’t you… Continue reading Day 110.

Okay, this is crazy but over the weekend, I came up with five more ‘ers to add to the series. I mean, I didn’t invent them, but based on some of the life experience I gathered in just a few short days, I realized that there are five areas/personality types/descriptors that I want to address.… Continue reading Day 109.

Part V- Attempters I’m ending this week of ‘ers on a high note my friends. That’s the way it should be, no? That’s the way I want it to be. What’s an attempter? Well, it’s nothing you’ll find online (I don’t think) because I sort of made it up. I mean, maybe I didn’t and… Continue reading Days 106-8 – Part V.
