Your Life is Boring, and So is Mine.

There’s a strange thing about life that I feel is universally felt, but ironically, hardly ever talked about. It’s a thing all of us can relate to, but we rarely explicitly acknowledge it to others. You know what that is? Life is boring for the average person. It’s not even a hard pill to swallow,…

My Evolving Thoughts on Jordan Peterson

Jordan Peterson. For most people, that name will elicit one of 3 reactions. The first being one of extreme admiration. The second is maybe an extreme distaste for the man, and finally the third being absolutely no clue who this guy is at all (a much bigger number than you’d expect). Over the years, as…

But Which One Am I?

Similar to my last post, this topic I wanna speak about I feel as if only a handful of people will understand EXACTLY where I’m coming from. And to those of you that do understand, I hope that this serves as a reminder:You’re not alone. But what is it that I want to speak about?…

We Don’t Miss the Person, We Miss the Feelings

I feel like only a handful of people will really know what I’m trying to say here, while the rest may not understand, and even some may think I’m being naive or misguided. But to those of you who do understand, I think you’ll really hit home with this one. How many times have you…

Don’t Change Too Much

If there were two little words that I’ve probably used more than any other two words, it would be these: “I’m sorry” You might already know where I’m going with this, especially because of the title, but I want speak on this topic anyway. And I’m not going to say anything mind-blowingly new here. Several…

A Modern Approach to: How To Win Friends and Influence People

So this is going to be a little bit off-topic then my more recent posts. I’ve recently been listening to the audio-book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, a classic if you may, and I’m not really trying to provide any kind of summary, as you’ll find about 10 million of…

I Like Movies With Bad Endings

So in my last post I wrote (if you haven’t read it) I briefly mention the movie 500 Days of Summer. And if you haven’t seen the movie, it’s essentially a “failed romance” in that the two main characters don’t end up falling in love, but rather, drift apart and, ultimately, move on. Honestly, from…

An Unhealthy Way of Dealing With Insecurities

We all have insecurities. That’s not anything new to anyone. We also have our own ways of coping with our insecurities, again, nothing new here. And with all coping mechanisms, there is one more obvious fact I want to share: some are good and some are bad. So what’s a good way to cope with…

What Should You Know About Me?

Well, there’s not a lot to say about myself. It’s not that I don’t have my own complex issues going on in my life, but rather, I’m really am not sure what to say that could properly explain who I am. First, I’m a writer. But what does that mean? I think it means I…

My Photo Gallery

I’m sort of an amateur photographer. I enjoy taking pictures of nature, people, and just cool things I see. Here is my Gallery of photos. If you have any questions or would like to know more about any of my pictures, please contact me. I’ll keep adding photos as I post more!

It’s been a while since I wrote on here, and I’m not even trying to make this post particularly long. I’ve just realized that since my life has begun to improve, almost with inverse correlation has the time I’ve spent reflecting. Funny enough, the reason for me want to write comes from a podcast I…

Chances are, if you’re reading this, you fall into 1 of 2 categories: You believe in fate. You don’t believe in fate. The thing is, many of us, at one point or another, have probably been able to identify with both categories, and actually most of us end up falling into a 3rd category: We…

I’m going to start this post with what I’m about to say it’s going to be an extremely unpopular opinion for a lot of people out there. The funny thing about unpopular opinions is that they are often unpopular because within them hides that small grain of truth most of us don’t want to face…

So I will admit, this little exercise has become pretty popular nowadays. It’s where you reflect on your life, and ask your self, what would I tell my 16 year-old self, if I could? Now it doesn’t have to be your sixteen-year-old self. It could be your ten year old self, your twenty year old…

Who do you think you are? I mean that literally. Do you think you’re a good person? A loving, caring person? A generous and kind person? A humble and selfless person? Maybe you don’t think so highly of yourself. Maybe you think you’re an awful person. Maybe you’ve done some things that, in hindsight, you…

Have you ever been in love with someone? And not that fake love, where you say you “love each other” but you both know (maybe not at the time) it’s just infatuation, and once the honeymoon period fades, so does the “love” that came with it. No, but I’m talking about real love, whatever that…

I’ve recently had a series of what you could call, tragic irony, happen to me. If not that, at the very least, it’s something so absurd and unimaginable, that it’s funny. It’s so sad and almost evil in a way, that I can’t help but laugh and wonder, why me? I’m just gonna spill the…

So this post is going to be much more anecdotal in nature in that I’m not trying to “prove” something to you, or even persuade you to believe a certain idea, but rather, I just want to speak my mind and share a little bit about what I’m feeling, and how I’ve been the past…

Something that I’ve revealed here in the past, one of which I still, to this day, feel very passionate about, is that I’m a very vivid dreamer. I have several dreams every night, most of which I can remember if I try. Granted, not all dreams seem to have significant importance, but there are those…

What does it mean to “start over”? Like really, what do people mean when they say “I’m just gonna start over”. Now, whether that be with a new job, new relationship, new education path, it doesn’t really matter, it seems as though we hear those 2 words from ourselves and others whenever we find out…
