Like virtual dust
If it were possible for dust to collect on old emails, I would start sneezing any time I open my account. There is a message sitting in my drafts folder that I’ve been meaning to send but haven’t. Not without cause, of course. It is because I’m afraid of the possible rejection or unwanted outcomes…

It shouldn’t be this hard
It shouldn’t be this hard. I bemoaned, yet again, the same woes. Because it took me longer to do the task, because I was distracted easily, because it was hard to get out of bed, because I can’t just wake up and go, powered and directed just by passion and goals. My struggle was a…

Day one
My gym app records how many visits I’ve had per week. It is depressing. Let’s not review the data. Now on January 1, like so many other people, I’m eager to commit to going more regularly. I will be a part of the New Year, New Me crowd. Years ago, I used to go the…

The journey, they say
I spent today, waking up early to get an answer sent to a colleague, bouncing around between meetings, into a packed evening. With barely a procrastinating YouTube video watched, I was busy all day. But even as focused as I remained all day, I couldn’t help to think that I was still too far from…

The wrong pursuit
“I wonder how tall she is.” I proceeded to go down a long journey to figure out the YouTuber’s height. Investigating link after link, I had to stop myself. “What are you doing? And why?” What difference would learning that piece of information make in my life? Learning is of course a good thing. However,…

1,000 days
At this point, this blog is the thing that I have been the most consistent with, ever. I am currently on a posting streak that is over 1,000 days long. Yeah, that level of consistency. There is now serious, objective evidence in the world that I have the capacity to be consistent. I now know…
