Megalomania

Megalomania

Whenever someone hops into Reese Cup they comment on the smell. I don’t have the official stats but understand there aren’t a lot of folks in and out of her.

Pause.

I can count on two hands how many people have ridden in my car so I’ma say 10 outta 10 riders love the smell.

What’s Beef?

What’s Beef?

I Am (rather I can be) laid back and unruffled. I try not to take anything too personal; I also try to avoid absorbing others negativity. Statistics have shown that 63.48% of the time when others are upset with you it has very little to do with you. I watched Ted Lasso S03 EP9 this morning. Isaac charges into the stands after a fan screams derogatory language towards him…

Soft Fleecy Clouds

Soft Fleecy Clouds

Today I remind myself and y’all of the self-locality of my views, assumptions, and conclusions, and to explicitly affirm the right of y’all to hold your own but I ain’t gon’ hold y’all, this is my post so find something safe to do. 

We bastardized the terms we use in relationships, the number one stunner “emotionally available.” There are women using this as a talking point and posted as the headline on their dating/ social media profile. I find it curious when I consider the women who are using this, my observation is that they themselves have negative emotional attachments showing up as a hidden appeal of deprivation.

Emotional Calisthenics

Emotional Calisthenics

First, they love you, then they hate you, then they love you again.

Then they spin the block, but always on some passive-agress-her terms masked as humor.

Received a text message at one-thirty ante meridian— a meme using the guy tapping his finger on his head, having just thought of something. He’s figured out a way to avoid his problems, and is passing it along to you as a genius strategy…

Comfortability with Replaceability

Comfortability with Replaceability

The end, or the beginning depending on your perspective, of the year is a great time for renewal. We highlight a list of goals or make resolutions. Attacking the new year with vigor, however, we don't always free up space to take on these new ideas we have for our lives.

Starting the year with a clean slate gives me the space to reflect…

Gigolos Get Lonely Too

Over the weekend I attempted to watch a few new television shows, but ended up going back and watching repeats of shows that I enjoy. As I watched this scene from Season 3 of Survivor’s Remorse — The Photoshoot I Am reminded of the promise of L O V E

What Do You Do To Protect Yourself From Pain?

I protect myself with a complicated set of traps & defense mechanisms.

I received a lot of private feedback on this sentence from my post,

"I could be a great boyfriend, partner, or husband except… I do NOT want to do the work."

Mostly you need to heal, you're hurt, and you need time feedback.

The Beauty of Life Changes

The Beauty of Life Changes

As sudden and tragic as death always is, the daily functions of life must go on.

… And sometimes we feel guilty for laughing and having a good time, but I hope you know she would want you to enjoy your life and wouldn’t want to be the source of your sadness

- Nikks

I Am grateful for the loved ones in my life. My family and friends— inclusive of those on digital lists, they have all been a great source of comfort. The beauty is the lesson grief teaches us, we cannot rely on ourselves we need others.

Alphalary for a Healthy Lifestyle - Laughter Learning Limits Living Love Longevity

I went to see Don ‘D.C.’ Curry Saturday with NOVA. Sitting next to her, a woman a year older than me who looks better than a twenty-five year old — this isn’t subjective, she takes care of herself physically, mentally, and spiritually. In contrast I watched a man ten years older walk out on stage, semi-assisted, to a stool to sit in while he performed his set.

I Am reminded of the impermanence of life.

We Fly Like That

We Fly Like That

“Falling in love” implies a descension, also a bit of risk, too. When we fall it is generally associated with something negative happening to us. I tripped and fell inside of a woman I just met and now she is carrying my baby. Bad meaning bad, not bad meaning good. In the curious case of falling in love however, we tend to glamorize and adore the fall.

Journal Entry Pain

Journal Entry Pain

I have been trying to write this for a week and a half with no real understanding of what I’m trying to say – There have been four deaths announced to me during that time; co-workers, family of close friends, and classmates.

Mastering fear & anxiety, I’ve learned how to respond to news of death by being open, honest and sincere.
