In my 30’s the unthinkable happened. My creative well dried up. My imagination vanished. Anxiety took over my life, and I fought like hell to keep my head above water. Suddenly, it was ten years later, and I hadn’t written a single word.

I have been feeling the onset of a certain lack of purpose. I retired from work (for a while) and I knew feelings like this would be coming; indeed part of my purpose in retiring was to stare into the void, to know my existence as separate from my doings. And so come waves of…

The other day I had a person warn me again of the dangers of this cult that keeps popping up in my social media feeds and circulates every few months. This cult steals your identity, changes your brain chemistry, it makes you do things that you don’t really want to do. It was exposed from one article…
“That’s not the right thing to do” is a phrase I keep hearing from the people around me whenever I’m brave enough to share my thoughts with them. While it isn’t enough to convince me to not do that, it always arouses a thought in me: “How is it that something…

You are young, smart, good-looking and really funny. Between the lines I read your sensitiveness. You hide behind jokes, maybe to numb the pain. And I get you because I was you, not so long ago.

When I was building Cappio, it was easy to know what was the one thing I had to live and breathe. Now that I’m transitioning off this project I was so invested in, I have the freedom to explore anything I please. Quite a huge shift.
I know how this feels. Focus is important. But I also think that doing things at a slower…

Friends come and go throughout life.
A friendship can be defined as a relationship between two, possibly like minded yet also different, people who are there and support on another through the ups and downs of life.
Having to deal with a person who has huge ego can be a difficult proposition. Especially if it is at the workplace, all the more worse. Many times more if the person happens to be senior and more experienced than you. One might find repeatedly in situations of…

Is it that job that you secured because society implores it and it signifies a day best utilized (even though you kind of hate it)?
Your significant other’s attention (despite the fact it comes and goes)?
Ok, first post, after a long time without writing blogs, so I decided to write a little story, if my writing is bad, well I still learn, so be patient.

Five years. 26. That’s always seemed like “The Age” to me, for some reason. The age to be done with school, undergrad and grad. Or the age to be happily situated in a career. The age to get married. The age to have your life figured out.
Lately, I’ve been feeling very constricted. I am trying my hardest to be happy but there is something holding me back. I feel like I can’t do anything. And I never have time. What is it? Well, a number of things.
I would like to live in a world where people are more important than things. I would like to live…

This reads exactly like my own rxperience with my last relationship. I did everytjing I could to change and see her point of view and now I know I have done all that I can and can do nothing more. Any more means more pain and emotional draining and sadness and all the other debilitating situations and emotions. Sometimes this route is the only route left to take. Sad but true.

This is very true, but society has put on an immense pressure to people in their 20’s to get ahead of the pack. Failures are seen as set backs, like you should have already figured out what you want in life right after stepping out of college. I once read a quote which reads “I hadn’t formed an identity besides making other people proud of me,” and…
I walked into a Wal-Mart today and saw the look of quit in many peoples faces, a look that I did not wan to ever have. Maybe it was just the time, 11 p.m.? Maybe it wasn’t.

Deepest shallows
Dead heavens
I am reluctant to write because I fear that I will never be able to express the shapeless emotion that resides within me. Some artists settle on one subject in an attempt to portray it perfectly. They work passionately, wearing their emotion on their sleeves so it can trickle down to the tip of their brush, tinging their latest attempt.

Nowadays.. People seem to get disappointed when they’re seeing you alone and having a serious me time. I don’t know why they easily get to judge. They get paranoid at times when you don’t get along with them. They get puzzled more often and that leads to go after you or go behind your back. They have been starting…

They knew where they stood with me. I think only two of them had an issue because they saw me as their best friend, but I saw them only as friends- I never wanted them to compete, (Deborah and I have literally been through life and death). Even if you don’t want admit it, there’s always one friend that you connect with on a great level and that’s…

They’ve ruined me god damn it.
£27000 of debt later and I’m done for. Finished.
The passion that once filled me, fills another who will take my place unwittingly. It has been drained. Pounded. Beaten out of me until all that remains are nonsensical words on a page.
Discouragement, the reason they don’t paint any more.
