2009, Thou Shalt Be The Year of Non Suck.

It’s not that 2008 was necessarily a bad year. More like it was a hard year. A year where I noticed that my life was not what I wanted it to be at all, and as a result, went through lots and lots of growing pains. And I mean lots. And loudly. With lots of [...]

I'm not quite sure what to do about this.

I saw some old friends from high school last night. It was weird. I felt so out of place. I had no university stories to tell, of drunken escapades, and crazy teachers. I think the weirdest part though, and Havi talked about this the other day, except she was dealing with in-laws, was feeling the [...]

Ooh, I'm stuckity stuck stuck stuck.

If you’re gonna be stuck, you might as well make it into a weird rhyming thingy. I am still feeling uncomfortable, and out of touch with my own identity. I constantly come back to the same pattern – feeling stuck, specifically in the mind of a 12 year old. I feel like I got benched [...]

Some days I hate business stuff. Sorry, that’s a lie. I love all the business stuff. I think what I hate is the decision making. The “OHMYGODALLOFTHISISUPTOMEANDIDONTKNOWWHATIMDOING!” decision making. And you know what it boils down to? Fear. Again. It always comes back to our friend fear. You know, there’s always two paths – growth, [...]

Meaningful action and expansion.

Do you ever find that an entire day has passed where you’ve been ridiculously busy, and yet you find that you have done absolutely nothing? You passed your entire day doing mindless busy work that isn’t really getting you anywhere but further away from where you want to be. I used to spend entire months [...]
