Artificial intelligence is the current scheme
It’s the new blockchain, bitcoin, nft, or whatever new bro cult that’s trending. Getting people to pay for subscriptions and tokens to use it, spending and wasting time on everything but their own creations and ambitions. Only to burnout without having truly experienced themselves and their own minds. And all…
-
Corporate is so predatory
Everything is corporate. The idea of employment and “owning” people to any degree is insane. Employee contracts, “at will,” NDAs, non-competes, and yet always exceptions in order for individuals not to benefit anything. And rules and exceptions so the big guys always get the benefit–whether by financial profit or something…
-
Victim blaming
They say no to victim blaming. But what they really mean is no acceptance of accountability. Only denial that you could have possibly done aNyThiNg wrong. Sometimes–actually 100% of the time–you are both the victim and the aggressor. To yourself, first and foremost. And by proxy of anyone you come…
-
Not where I want to be
A lot of us aren’t getting where we want to be, and/or even achieving the very next step because we are doing aaaall the things, but not THE thing. As individuals, we all know exactly what that one thing is for ourselves. It nags at us. Quietly, loudly, and even in numbness. We…

Psilocybin epiphanies
I felt like my physical body was about to burst from all the love I was emanating while I was on shrooms. The phrases kept coming to me. I wanted to remember a few things in particular of what I was feeling and epiphanizing. Things that I may have thought…

Why are you making it harder on yourself?
You should be making it easier on yourself and helping/guiding others to make it easier on themselves. Be free. Think fondly when you want to demonize. (instead of, and as a first instinct) Everyone is how they are because of their unique challenges. Let them live and enjoy. I don’t…
-
This too shall pass
The good and the bad, the struggle and the ease. For better or better or worse or worse, it will all pass. There’s relief in that. You may feel down and desperate, and this too shall pass. You may feel high and floating and joyful, and that too shall pass.…
-
If you’re asking “why,” it’s because you want to control.
Or you want to feel like you have it. Accept how something is, and move on. Do you actually want to say that anyone in the world “drove you” to do anything—not in your own control? Fighting the world for scraps? Where does that come from? Is it low or…
-
Be the niche you want to see in the world
I need a space for writings, nebulous musings, unsolicited advice, and talk therapy for all the versions of my soul. A way to relive and experience the contrasts, and even come to accept the abstract and sometimes infuriatingly paradoxical nature of life. A place for expression without the need for…

There is no tomorrow
A while ago, I had a couple days of feeling intense types of ways. Anything and everything I was trying to do was just not working out. Obstacle, inconvenience, and challenge after infuriating challenge—with seemingly no way else that things could possibly get resolved. As I was taking a walk and fuming…
