    When you stop…

    You take away the possibility of completion. I tell myself this often enough but as the days go on, it’s a lot easier said than done. The reality is, the people that didn’t spawn from wealthy families or had trusts waiting for them, really put in the work. Finding your lane, your field of expertise…

  • NO FEAR

    NO FEAR

    Unfortunately, through life, many of us have learned levels of fear that we shouldn’t have had to. Fear should be a place of protection, working along side of common sense.

    Where is music going?

    I was sitting and listening to music this morning, and I realized that music is just another way that each generation leaves it mark in time. Each culture has its own contribution.

    The feelings that you have once you know you’re in deep in the final stages of a divorce are strange, to say the least. For myself, I feel that my spouse is feeling some sense of regret for letting things get this far. Yet and still, continuing with the same actions that led us to…

  • Misery in happiness

    Intro Why was it so hard for you to show your emotions to me? After all we’ve been through. I need you to help me understand.

  • The beginning or the end…

    I’ve worked my entire life to be where I am at this very moment. I finished college, which was a chore in itself. Landed a decent job in my field of choice. Married the woman of my dreams. The kids, cars, homes, by all rights, I can say I made it. But if I did,…
