The Rediscovery Project

A reflection of finding yourself again after spending your thirties keeping everything from falling apart The other day, someone asked me what I do for fun, and I stared at them like they'd just asked me to explain quantum physics using only interpretive dance. Fun? Fun? I vaguely remember that concept from the Before Times—you know, before my life became an endless game of Responsibility Jenga, where pulling out the wrong block means forgetting…

The Sacred Trinity of Catastrophe

There's an ancient proverb whispered among the weary and battle-scarred: Bad things come in threes. Not two, because that would be manageable. Not four, because the universe isn't that cruel. Three. The holy trinity of "are you kidding me right now?" So apparently the universe has a sense of humor, and its favorite punchline is me. You know how they say bad things come in threes?

Transformative Experiences That Shape Us

What experiences in life helped you grow the most? Filler XVI Growth often comes from adversity, and for me, growing up poor was one of the most significant influences on my personal development. Growing up with a drug addicted parent helped me stay away from that lifestyle after seeing the results of that at a very young age. Learning to live with little taught me humility—how to appreciate the smallest things and recognize the…

February F**k Up!: Reflecting on February & Embracing March

As I step into a new month, I find myself looking back at February—a month that tested me in ways I wasn’t prepared for. It was a month of overthinking, self-doubt, and constant worry. I struggled to find a job, and with each passing day, the weight of my dwindling savings and overdue bills made it harder to breathe. The fear of losing my home loomed over me, and no matter how much I tried to stay positive,…

Facing The Mirror

A Month of Reflection: Facing the Real Problem... Me This past month has been a whirlwind of emotions, realizations, and hard truths. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve come to a stark and sobering conclusion: the problem wasn’t my job, my finances, my family, or whatever I thought was the problem at the time and whatever or whoever I was angry and resentful with.

The Struggle of Lazy Days: Balancing Rest and Purpose

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? Filler XV For me, it's a bit of a paradox for 2 reasons. I have to have a well-rested day I start to overthink about it, and I regretfully think that I could be doing something more worthy of my time instead of just laying around. Lazy days seem tempting, right? A day of lounging, doing nothing, and escaping the demands of work or life.

The Return of The Ghost With The Most

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Movie Review When Beetlejuice first hit theaters in 1988, it brought a unique blend of gothic charm, eccentric humor, and imaginative visuals. Now, in 2024, the much-anticipated sequel has arrived with a cast of legacy characters and new blood, and while it successfully taps into that same quirky energy, it’s not without a few hiccups. Minimal hiccups.

Coffee Talk: 37 and Growing

A reflection of life at the age of 37 Last month, I had my 38th birthday, and for some reason, I wasn't feeling too good about it. It wasn't that I was feeling depressed or anything of the sort it was more of a state of uncertainty than anything else. There are some points in life where you seem like your stuck in a constant cycle of monotony and not that there is anything wrong with that but you feel this deep thought in the back of your…
