To my first love…

Hey… I know it’s been a while… And I know I never announced my departure, but I knew I’d be back… I thought I would be back after things began to feel less repetitive and unfamiliar… When you really think about it, that doesn’t even make sense… But nevertheless nothing has really changed in that regard… And in some ways, I’ve learned to embrace the unfamiliar because I don’t really want to return to what I once knew… And even … Continue reading “To my first love…”

You can believe what you want…

It’s so interesting how you go through life and make different decisions, or have different experiences… And sometimes these decisions or experiences help you decide who you want to become… While other times these decisions or experiences help you decide who you do not want to become… And what I have found most interesting lately, is the notion of people continuing to view me through the lens of who I no longer am… And I used to feel the need … Continue reading “You can believe what you want…”

There have been many times in my life when I could tell that I had grown in a specific area or had arrived at this new level where I just knew that I was different… And I’m not really sure how else to explain what I mean by that, but if you know what that feels like then you know what I’m saying… But what is more so interesting when that happens, is how long it can sometimes take certain … Continue reading “When you level up…”
