The Moments Of Meh…
Today had moments of meh…. More than normal. You know those moments…. A little bit of okay-ness, a little bit of sadness, a little bit of feeling disconnected for no reason…. A bit of feeling off more so than on. You try to grab a tool from your mental arsenal, to shift to a better…

Reading The Story Of Your Life – Part 1
If you read a book that was entirely about your life, well not about but rather an exact recording, retelling, of your life journey-to-date, in raw, un-edited, detail… how much interest and/or attention of yours would this book hold? Let’s add that you didn’t know it was about you…. Would you say “well, no shit…

Work – Life Balance – Again…
Still a relevant struggle in 2025, Work – Life Balance has had a half-assed makeover to Work – Life Integration. With the latter being potentially far worse than the former. I won’t pour over this for too long… this is more of a brain dump of my thoughts on it and how I’ve managed to…

Motto Vs Motto
For every, positive and powerful quote/saying/slogan/etc. there is an equally negative, contradictory and powerful quote/saying/slogan/etc…. or is there… So you have choices… “Tomorrow is another day…” vs “Tomorrow doesn’t exists” “You can be anything you want…” vs “Know your limitations.” This doesn’t mean that the preceived negative motto is damming; your reframe can make it…

The Victim, The Villain, The Hero – All Within You
The Trifecta from within; which do we feed… For me, I ignorantly allowed so many things to feed The Victim side of me – especially my father, at that time The Villain and I don’t mean to paint him as a complete monster, even in the least, an intentional one. And once the Victim side…

A Hijacked Brain: Seeking Belonging (The Victim)
When I started drinking alcohol, it wasn’t about chilling or having fun—it was about fitting in. I thought a drink in my hand would make me part of the crowd, hide my insecurities, and fill the void of feeling like I didn’t belong. Looking back, now sober and wiser, I see it wasn’t just about…
