It is apparent that parents are not being parents but rather partners while, at the same time, parents are being more like parents to their partners instead of partnering, and apparently I like tongue twisters. In case this first sentence was too confusing... I should’ve erased it, but I’m way … [Read more...]
A Trick to Make Life Seem Better
As you are well aware, life has its ups and downs... at least I hope you are aware of this; if not, you must live in a magic bubble I wish I could visit. In life, we are guaranteed to experience times that are really great, times that suck, and times that just pass by without any real feeling … [Read more...]
Are your parents proud of you?
Do you ever wish that your mom was an alcoholic when she was pregnant with you? I do because then I’d have an excuse for some of my problems. If she at least did something to screw me up that’d be awesome because I could say something like “Yeah, I’m this way because my parents beat the stuffing … [Read more...]

On the other hand, if you saw this title and you thought: “That’s wrong. My … [Read more...]
Do you have depression?
The other day I was carrying a slab of wood with nails in it and as I took a step down the edge of the wood bounced off the step and aggressively dug into my back. The gross part was I could feel it as it pierced the skin and got lodged. It was sharp enough to break through the skin, but blunt … [Read more...]
What does it mean to love someone?
I just started listening to a book (who has time to read?) called Haatchi & Little B: The inspiring true story of one boy and his dog. The first chapter opens by describing how the dog, Haatchi, as a puppy was found curled up bleeding on a busy railway track in London. It was discovered that … [Read more...]
