EVERY CHIRTSMAS MAKES ME SADDER THAN THE LAST.

I didn't bother reading back over my most recent blog post so forgive me in advance. I will have worked at my job for two months on the 17th but unfortunately my last day is the 29th. On Wednesdays we meet at our downtown location for our weekly staff meeting. It's always my favorite day …

fish & chips, meadows & catching waves

Life is settling down for me and I am very grateful. The past couple of years have been a whirlwind. This will be our fourth and likely final move. The ability to experience so many different landscapes, social scenes and those snapshots of moments filled with so much emotion you feel as though you will …

the hour of reckoning

Lately I have been questioning myself everyday. I have never experienced psychosis and I do not wish to, however I wonder why then is it so difficult to trust my own mind. Oftentimes I do not understand where my motivations come from and why I insist on pursuing a dream I realize the next day …

9:19

My emotions attack like sneaker waves. I hope that makes sense. Then again it doesn't matter all that much anyway. I love writing even though I am subpar. It has always felt nice to write until my hand cramps or tap away on a keyboard and pretend I have achieved something worthwhile. There is comfort …

What came easily was never delicately crafted into a strength and now stands out like a flashing neon sign. A broken flashing neon sign where two letters flicker in and out, hoping desperately to make …

A thin veil of grey

There was a time when everything felt novel, like when the sunset hit the edge of the sycamore tree just right creating a gentle golden hue over the newly fallen leaves. Your mind's eye felt a sense of newfound pleasure by simply delighting in the spectacular moments that exist all around us. Those moments are …

Sabotage thy child

It would be excruciatingly simplistic to say that certain encounters are, in a sense, predestined to take place. Furthermore, it would be even more of a bore to point out that they serve a purpose, oftentimes to remind you what you should be grateful for by comparison. I am pretty close to terrible when it …

Matrimony

In many ways I am glad I haven't felt the pressure to get married and have children. While I detest simplifying religion I do think the tradition of marriage is a beautiful thing, let's substract any political issues for a moment, because in my very watered down definition, we historically got married to start a …
