Why didn’t you say that?
“Wait, why didn’t you bring that up?” She wanted to know why I wasn’t celebrating the victory. The truth was that what she saw as a success never registered to me. I was too busy picking apart all the areas for improvement. And truthfully, if she had somehow found out and tried to celebrate it,…

One day
That is so beautiful. I would love to have something like that. Maybe one day. Wow, she’s so strong. I wish I could do that. Maybe one day. Man, I don’t feel great and should probably do something about it. Maybe one day. I’ve never seen One Day on a calendar but I imagine it…

Missed opportunity
I had a clear shot, but I didn’t take it. Served on a platter was an opportunity to displease someone, to finally face head on my tendency to people please. And yet, I stuttered. I stammered something instead of answering the question head on. Rather than being direct and done with it, I choice to…

Vacation window shopping
I am sitting here, Google stalking the area around a hotel I have never been to, never booked a stay at, and barely know about. I had only learned about it and now have a desire to learn even more. So here I am, planning out the details for possible journey from the airport, any…

Don’t stop now
At some point, I came across someone on the internet mentioning change happens not at all, and then slowly, and then all of a sudden. The moment I remembered those words, I was able to reground in the efforts that I’m making to try and change my life. Things are hard right now. It looks…

Maybe I’m not lazy?
I am rushing to write this before I head off for my second job. I am doing this because I am trying to maintain my streak of posting every day. As I scramble to get this post, I am thinking maybe I am not lazy. I post everyday on a blog that I started for…

I’m sorry I wasted so much time.
I spent so long worrying about what you think of me. Foolishly, it never occurred to me that you never did. That is not to say that you didn’t say things about my appearance, bring up my failures, or try to make me feel small. You did all of those things and said all of…

So many choices
How are your resolutions coming along? At the time I’m writing this, we’re not even two weeks in to 2025, but that doesn’t mean things will have been perfect. I for one am doing a reassessment. I started with a lot of good intentions. It is time to start getting more specific. I know what…
