Reading this reminds me of my friend.
He’s super critical of other people, and SO hard on himself. To the extent that he once slapped himself really hard when he thought he hadn’t worked hard enough that day.
He sees in others the things he despises in himself. All the time. Other people are too…

Naturally, we’re all a tad solipsistic — some, like me, a bit more than others. The Earth moves around the sun, but in our minds, we can’t help but think that we’re the center of the universe. I guess you might call it an egocentric, rather than a heliocentric, view of the cosmos.
I’m no expert in love but I’ve been broken and I have broken. I’ve been on both sides…

The truth is that we all have great ideas somewhere hidden deep down inside of us.
Ideas, thoughts and messages that have the potential to change the world.
The problem is that we don’t want to do the dirty work it takes to get those ideas to spread.

For most of us, we begin as creatures of circumstances. Things “happen” to us and we react to them. This is the base stage of existence. Your environment dominates you…
All the quotes have been inspired from various platforms. I have not penned them.
A man doesn’t need to be perfect to make a woman happy. All he needs to do is to be the man he said he was when he first met her.

Before we are born, we draw straws. Some straws are long — death by old age, beautiful family, Oscar winner, Pulitzer winner, Nobel Peace Prize winner, winner winner, endless chicken dinner. The other straws are short — infant mortality, childhood leukemia, all…
You better stop blaming yourself for what has already happened. Be fair to yourself and accept that what is done is done. We all make mistakes. And sometimes serious ones. You may have made horrible decisions in the past. People may have treated…
Most of us have accumulated emotional baggage as we’ve traveled our individual paths in life. Some of it is really easy to recognize, but some of the baggage of childhood is often buried in our subconscious.
We wonder why pain, suffering, defeat are visited upon us. Why me — we may ask. What have I done to deserve this? Why…

Margaret Atwood
She’s not someone I talk about.
Life is a series of meetings and partings and the ultimate parting comes when one has to die. Although these facts were pretty clear in my head, yet the feeling of leaving my own people behind to start a new life, did make me a little anxious.
when I was in highschool I was rather shy and kept to myself. I didn't have many friends and the ones I had were more or less like me. so we went to each other's houses, watched movies and ate until late at night and then I would walk back home.

Richard,
I was very happy to find it. I tried thinking of ways to recover my income — that wasn’t too hard but expenses — not so easy. And sales?
So I am thrilled to have it back in a safe spot.

There have been times I have had thoughts, ideas and ambitions, but these things have not made it out of me. They were trapped by a single mental mistake.

And this is very strange…I hadn’t thought of this person in decades. But, in a bizarre way, most of the man I am today is because of Her. She was…in that way that everyone you know in High School becomes the…

The 31st Year End
Well this is my first post on this “Medium” (haha get it)and I figure why not begin with an ending.
Endings, these are substantial in my world right now. Tomorrow is my birthday. Over the years, I have, at most times, given a recap of my year. Sometimes I do so at New Year’s and…

Every now and then my thoughts take me to you…Long before I know you would be gone to far away land,
My Days would become long and empty, nights wouldn’t be Starry anymore,
Every decision needs the calculus of a cost benefit analysis.
You know I always thought I knew who I was and who I wanted to be when I was a kid but deep down inside of me, to the core; I had no clear vision of the hard true. I wasn’t the me I truly wanted to be. Why? How? Well I found myself all caught up in striving for all the perfection and the standards…
This is so true especially when it comes to things such as mental health issues such as addiction, domestic violence and child abuse. I choose to go to anger management groups when my children were little out of fear of what I might some day be capable of, but mostly because of what my childhood was like. Unfortunately, addiction is very much so a…

What do you think about when you’re alone?

I graduated High School in June, 1989. Having inherited my Uncle Don’s (and in some unspeakable way it was also my Mother’s) wanderlust I was almost instantaneously gripped by the urge to get the hell out of Waycross. Of course I was too chickenshit to actually move to L.A. which is where my…

I agree and disagree with this one. My writing thrives on having no shame and talking about taboo topics.
At the end of the day, I think the most important question to ask yourself is why. Why are you being honest? Or why are you guarding yourself by putting up more boundaries?
she was the oldest resident in my neighborhood. she’d been here longer than Mr. Don and Mr. Don has been here 30 years. She didn’t speak english; the sum total of the few actual conversations I had with her was pretty much “twins?” “yes” “Love” “yes” “LOVE. Beautiful”…
“Self-love is the source of all our other loves.” — Pierre Corneille
I had seen this old gentleman doting over his wife before as I made my rounds distributing Holy Communion and visiting at the nursing home. He pushed her in her wheelchair, set her up to the table at meals, helping her to eat and then helping clean her up before wheeling her away afterwards. He was always so gentle and soft spoken to her, helped her…
Recently I watched this amazing movie #Sully.
