It’s Okay to Have a Bad Day
a really late musing today… we all have bad days from time to time. i remember a quote from The Office, maybe one of the most relatable Michael Scott quotes of all time, when he tells Jo Bennett “i’ve been going through a rough patch lately… the whole year, actually.” even though 2024 has just…

Rejoice
life was never supposed to be easy. the pockets of joy that we experience are the relief from the normal, from the mundane, from the routine. instead of wondering why bad things happen, we should be asking why good things keep happening. and then rejoice. rejoice that we get to experience the good things. rejoice that we…

Never Look Back
i’ve really been falling behind on posting, but it’s because i’ve actually had things to do. for me, there’s no better feeling than having work to do. one of my favorite quotes is a Teddy Roosevelt quote: “far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth…

Antimatter
i’m a huge proponent of therapy. however, we can’t (and shouldn’t) live at our therapist’s office. so how do we cope during the in-between? being an employee in the creative industries, all of my coping mechanisms and therapy tricks revolve around creating or innovating. i love to write, whether it be journaling, songwriting, composing, poetry,…

Celebration
i don’t really have much today. i actually just have joy, positivity, and contentment overflowing right now. it’s funny how when something you really want goes the way you want it to, everything else can disappear, even the moderately good things. everything fades into the background, and all you’re left with is the feeling of…

A Short Musing
have people always been this pessimistic? is pessimism cyclical like everything else in life, or is this just a rough patch? or this what happens when we spend all our time virtue signaling, nitpicking, and attempting to be self-righteous so we hope we can be on the right side of history? i will choose joy. joy is…

A Better Way
there is a disconnect between what i believe about life and what the rope i’ve attached myself to believes about life. it is tangible. and it frightens me. life shouldn’t be this full of fear and divides, and yet, it was always one of the only certainties since the fall. life is meant to be…

On Hopelessness
as it turns out, the feelings of hopelessness that are so pervasive within the Church are not limited to the body of believers. it turns out the world is full of hopelessness. i refuse to believe this is the first time that hopelessness has been this pervasive. throughout history, there have been terribly dark times…

No Leg to Stand On
anxiety can ruin a day. it can ruin a mood and a vibe. often, it’s not apparent for helpful reasons. way more often than not, at least for me, it’s spiritual warfare. when i’m on the verge of a seriously positive change, i find my anxiety is at an all-time high. it’s put there to…

On Love
today i want to talk about something different: love. love isn’t something i talk about a lot, ever. in fact, it’s difficult for me to even say that i love someone. but trust me when i say, i am well aware of my emotions, and i know how much i love the people in my…
