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. We just don’t want to do it. Either now, or ever.…

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…

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…

When helping becomes pathological
Lately, I’ve been wondering a lot: What am I doing? What is my actual damage? This zealousness to help others—to solve problems—is it possible to go too far? When my loved ones complain enough, at one point I can’t just listen. I have to try solving it for them if…

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…

Be present
That’s what I need to think about: I’m always impatient to get there. There. No matter what it is—instead of enjoying every moment—I constantly find myself wanting to “get rid” of these moments and look forward to those. I just have to be here for once. Not just in rare, or not-as-oft happening circumstances (i.e., food, sex, sleep,…

Trust your intuition
We get feelings about things for a reason. But we’re told not to trust our own instincts. Instead, pay us a fee and absolve yourself of the responsibility of the results. That goes for everything. Pretty much all fields of business, particularly the conceptual ones. We don’t want to take…

Everyone is going to break your trust
Not everyone necessarily because they mean to, but because sometimes we really can never know another person’s feelings, thoughts, or expectations of us. And maybe you had expectations that you didn’t communicate. So, it’s not that they broke your trust. They broke the illusion of what you thought you had…
