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.

Mouse
Sometimes those Forever People pass too soon. I took a picture of you, I know that we’re friends That little picture, that we laugh at and send It is just a little snap, of when we went to that place It is not at all needed to remember your face Your smile and aura were…

The Spirit and the Squirrel
to throw them at the wall like spaghetti to see if they’ll stick. Almost a character study in a vampire’s life, there’s nothing looking back at me when I check the mirror.

Changing Signs
The signs we put up at first are right on the edges of those places of thought, right next to the addictions, those destinies of disaster.

Those same automatics that bring about relapses because of what I describe as that other definition of H.A.L.T., as half assed lazy thinking.

Anxiety Shampoo
Fear is an awfully big wig, hard to manage, and usually leaves us looking more unkempt than we recognize.

The Next Epidemic
The rush to normalcy in a reactionary world Having been a casualty to the cultural, and genetic entrapment of addictions, it is not surprising that the headlines some would pass by catch my eye these days. It is similar to the HAM radio licence plates, when I knew what they signified, I saw more and…

Buoyancy
I am pretty sure others have their point of the year. That time when the epitome’s of life desire a turn in the path, a jog in another direction.
