The Days Are Long But The Years Are Short

Writing this feels less like it’s meant for who I am today, and more like a message for the future version of myself. Maybe I’ll never come back and read this, or maybe one day you, Leo, could be reading this. But for now this is simply a message that attempts to speak to a…

Pain and happiness let us travel through time

Have you ever found an old diary, a note saved on your phone, a photograph, or even a little trinket that you had when times were tough? And when you look at that note, or hold that item in the palm of your hands it’s as if all the words that could describe that moment…

Life is too short to live in fear and regret

Writing this post feels like I’m stepping back into a time capsule. So much time has passed since I last posted here, yet it still feels like nothing changed as I make my return. It’s as if I simply pressed pause, and the world in which I let my mind and my thoughts roam free,…

A Breakdown of The Persona, Ego, Shadow, and The Self

Over the past few years of diving into Jungian Psychology I’ve realized that it has, in turn, shaped much of the understanding of psychology we have today and much of my own understanding of how I view myself and humanity. The most frustrating part I see when I read online in places like Reddit or…

The Discipline Gap.

I didn’t really plan on writing about this book, The Confidence Gap, and it’s not because the information in it wasn’t valuable, but to me, it just wasn’t anything new. This is in no way to sound snobbish, but I’ve read  (more than I can remember really) so many books that talk about confidence, motivation,…

There’s a handful of books that will eternally go down as the “Greatest Books of All-Time”, one of them, undoubtedly being Dostoevsky’s Crime And Punishment. If you’ve not already recognized the title, I’m sure the name of the book at least sounds familiar. And if you are familiar, you’ll know there are hundreds even thousands…

Why Can’t I Keep My Room Clean?

For as long as I can remember, I am and have always been unorganized, at least, to the uninformed viewer looking in.  My desk at work is messy. My desk at home is messy. My room is messy. My living room is messy. My bathroom is messy. My kitchen is messy. It’s all messy.  And…

An Honest Conversation With Myself

Today is February 28th, 2021, also known as the very last day of the second month of the year (if it’s not a leap year).  What’s significant about this day? It’s a day where 80-90% of people who embarked on their “New Year’s Resolution” have now officially put it off till next year. From my…

The Road Less Travelled isn’t always the empty one.

If you read the title of this post, and you thought to yourself, “That quote sounds familiar”, you would be right. (Bonus points if you can name the recent book that I took it from.) I’ll reveal the title at the end, but if you already know it, then you’ll probably know where I’m going…

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…
