Cornerstones
It’s sad in hindsight because now the pace of life is faster than I find comfortable with at all.
-
Life in Atrophy
Maybe that’s the reason why this works for some so well, finding that the biggest mountain to climb is the one that crawls so deep.
-
Winchester’s Ghost
That left me trying to piece together and scout around at what was left over, the foundational pieces of who I am. I found the pieces that I could change, that didn’t hold weight any longer, and those that never did.
-
Just Don’t Stay
What happened felt like I was taking a long run at a moving train in hopes I could tackle it and derail the thinking that had rutted my tracks so deeply.
-
The Judgements
It comes from the very things we are trying to hide, our biases, our expectations, and our fears.
-
Lose Yourself
What also ran into all of this was a realization that there is no there, that I’ve been looking for.
-
Planting Whispers in the Soul
Teasing is humility’s hammer, it is the great destroyer of egos, and the builder of acceptance.

The Thought Catalog
These days feel like I am more the researcher surveying the damage, with impatient monkeys slapping my ass.
-
To Thyself Be Fearful
It was a badly damaged area as I assessed the aftermath, the works of good mental behaviors tossed down like a library after an earthquake.
-
Better People
It is the forgiveness, and acceptance that was developing for yourself was also developing for others, was coloring in their silhouettes.

Those reminders of the basics, and letting what you know now set in for a bit, make a bed, stay a night or two, are imperative to remember.
-
That Familiar Stranger
I expected my childish behaviors and wallowing to win out and comfort me in my pity blanket.
-
The Exi-stencil Engineer
That circular firing squad of self demolishing thoughts has succeeded in halving their numbers.
-
Minding Time
The mind is not a clock. It will manipulate and move anything around it needs to in protecting itself, yourself.
-
The Frugal Emotionalist
Because like everything else in life, these pieces that make up the whole are complex, simple, honest, and lying, all at the same time.
-
Joy 2.0
It is a practice in acceptance, a discovery of more tolerance, and a space clearing exercise that helps in these confined times.
