My personal favorite are the things that spark your interest, perhaps in… Continue reading

Things I’m Excited to See Again (List-cember #4)
While things are very much still tough, and the approach of the new year doesn’t have so much magic as it does desperate hope for something better, I am trying my best to think about the good things.

Let Us All Give Thanks to Our Grey Sweatshirt
If you look at almost any picture of me from high school, I am wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt. It was nothing special.

Finding Focus with Your Senses
With so much going on and so many reasons to both worry about the future and get lost thinking about the past, it is easy to lose sight of the present. I know I have a tendency of focusing on the if/when’s of the future or the “if only’s” of the past, and at times… Continue reading

My 500th Blog Post
Almost seven years ago, on a random Sunday night, I posted a rambling blog post, which to this day has only been viewed eight times. I didn’t tell anyone I posted it, and I didn’t know what to expect from it. I wrote it because I could—because I couldn’t seem not to—and because I wanted… Continue reading
