Did I fumble… or naw…?

As of lately, I’ve been trying to determine whether or not I fumbled an opportunity that was presented to me… And it doesn’t matter what I’m referring to because I’m sure that everyone can relate to the idea of hesitating to make a decision because you are unsure that it is what’s best for you… But I’ve thought about it a lot the past month or so… and as of lately I’ve been wondering if the door is closed… I … Continue reading “Did I fumble… or naw…?”

Thoughts while on autopilot…

I’m not really sure what’s wrong… but lately I’ve found myself feeling very uninterested in… and unsatisfied with… things that have always brought me joy and made me feel “alive”… And though I am well aware that life isn’t always supposed to be exciting… nothing excites me anymore and everything feels more like a “chore” than a “privilege”… I’m also finding myself questioning everything… Like what’s the point of any of these creative projects that I pour myself into… who … Continue reading “Thoughts while on autopilot…”

The watery release…

Of all the things that I can think of that I dislike doing, I am pretty sure that crying is pretty damn close to being at that top of that list if it’s not already in the number one spot… I hate crying… And though I am pretty sure that the average person is not a fan of crying… most of the time when I can feel that I am about to cry I stuff my emotions so that it … Continue reading “The watery release…”

The journey from here to there…

I remember hearing this teaching where the instructor was explaining the process that a seed goes through to become a plant… The first thing that the gardener does is prepare the dirt and dig a hole… Then they put the seed in the hole… After they’ve placed the seed in the hole… they cover the seed with dirt so that it’s buried… the seed is also alone and isolated while it’s buried… After that the gardener waters the seed as … Continue reading “The journey from here to there…”

So what’s my future…?

So I guess this is my first blogpost of 2021… That seems like such a weird statement to type… And it’s kind of crazy how I suddenly feel this odd amount of pressure to set the tone for the new year with this post and write something super positive and uplifting, now that all of the hell we endured throughout 2020 has ended forever… Yay!! *cue the confetti and fireworks and other celebratory devices* Sorry to disappoint you if that’s … Continue reading “So what’s my future…?”

Lonely

It’s crazy how minutes and hours and days and weeks and months and years go by… And while each moment is happening, certain choices may seem kind of insignificant in the grand scheme of who we are and what we will become… But then something happens that causes us to stop and reflect on the current events of our life… And suddenly we realize that we don’t exactly recognize the person that we have become… As I write this, the … Continue reading “Lonely”
