Don’t You Know That It’s Toxic?
Recently, I made a major discovery in regards to my health. Many foods that I enjoy have been poisoning me thanks to a very common allergy. Unfortunately, it’s an ingredient that’s in pretty much everything; so, my main task in life now is primarily reading nutrition labels. It’s unbelievable just how easily you can get […]
A Moment of Clarity
All my life, I owned all this intellect, and yet, nowhere to apply it to of any consequence outside of the pages of my own journals and weblogs. I believed Academics were meant to hone my skills of expression. Yet I only found that my pen dulled as the expectations of my output became nothing […]
That Solemn Privilege
It was a beautiful moment that came too soon and was gone too soon. Four years on, I lay wondering how else it could have went. Heaven sent blessings rained down in a torrent, but I couldn’t see them at the time for the dark clouds. At once I had my happy camper, but also […]
How Do We Make Our Ideas Become Real to Us?
Many of the things we think about aren’t really things in a physical, tactile sense. We have to give ideas some physical form. That’s because we like touching things, especially when they’re soft, warm, or smooth. We don’t like rough edges. All human beings appreciate aesthetics to some degree. Some have a better inherent understanding […]
A Capsule of Time During Cross-County Travel
I became very reluctant to plan any cross-country trip after the several disasters our interstate trips had become. But, these travel nightmares were never due to lack of planning or insufficient foresight; in fact, the failures of our trips were in spite of those things. So, leaving at the drop of a hat and spending […]
Letting Myself in Between the Lines
As a creative youth, I often thought about ways of telling stories in new and unexpected ways. Yet, what emerged from my fingertips was often dry and devoid of personality. What went wrong? I didn’t let myself in between the lines. For so long, I felt all I’d ever amount to was a prolific article […]
What Must Be Laid Bare
When we are young, do we really know who our heroes are? Our innocence shields us from the truth of sin; we don’t yet fathom the subterfuge of what is today commonly called “adulting”. So much of what we learn as kids turns out to be hollow promises and flat out lies. I often lay […]
Abrupt Decay
The reason I haven’t written much lately is, frankly, there has been a general lack of interest in my writings, besides the apparent surge in interest when it comes to pondering the existence of our souls having lived entire past lives, which send echoes we can’t explain through our current lives. The point of even […]
Of Past Lives I Ponder
I’ve often pondered about past lives and wonder if my more fantastic dream states are based in some distant truth. Are they some sort of flashbacks from a life my soul lived thousands of years ago? We all live many lives through our dreams, whether they are merely constructs which our unconscious creates for dreamers […]
The Deepest Cuts
The deepest cuts of my writing often emerge in the latest hours of the night. When they do, the inspiration slowly fades as dawn approaches. If this phase of inspired prose is left to wane without expression, it’s lost forever. So, to force rest when there is none seemingly to be had is pointless, especially […]
