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…

It Was Never Meant To Be

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…

“You Should Seek Professional Help”

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…

To My 16 Year Old Self

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…

You’re Not Who You Think You Are

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…
