It is my belief that family, those who we grew up with or were raised by, are not here for us to help them. It is my belief that they are here for us to help ourselves.

Keep that stale loaf away from me
As I waited at the edge of Santa Monica Blvd, for the little white figure across the street to tell me I could cross, a thought flitted across my mind, a thought about my writing, or lack thereof recently.

Excuses suck because I know they’re bullshit – 25/100
As my birthday approached this year, I felt a few different things. I was a little anxious, a little restless about my life, where I am, and, more often, where I'm not. But the closer it gets, the less I feel anxious and restless. Interesting. As it gets closer, the more I am clear on… Continue reading Excuses suck because I know they’re bullshit – 25/100
