“Maybe I was reaching for authenticity through a funhouse mirror. I didn’t know. I just didn’t want to be who I was. It turns out that’s not a specific enough request.”
— R. Eric Thomas, Here For It(Amazon, Bookshop)
everyday we get up
rise to the occasion
sometimes it’s amazing
until it’s not.
we try our best
put on our super-hero chest
fake it till you make it
the chain is stronger than you think
i realize everyday it’s how you think
thoughts become things
it’s time to think great thoughts
try it, it’s you.

Sometimes I sit and wish I could freeze time right where I am. That way I’ll never lose all of the lovely things that are around me. But time keeps going and things keep getting lost. But I’m still living because something new and beautiful is going to come around eventually and that right there is something to stick around for.
-Unknown
Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
-Ernest Hemingway
this day every year
brings joy to many
not sure if there is any
reasons not to be grateful.
I can only speak for me
but I wanna say
thank you for reading my blog
today and any other day.

negative self talk
can be so loud
makes me wanna
float on a cloud
go where silence is golden
and I’m not beholden
to all that is said about me.

drip drip drop
wash it away
hard times come again no more

lost another friend to the virus
confronted with mortality
makes me feel
too much
masculinity makes me want to hold it in
crying under my skin
go away virus
you’re taking so much away
the universe has picked me to stay
I wish I can take your pain away
make it vanish.

words shout out
punishing, harsh
breath is gone.

as i writes today
alas troubles aren’t so far away
put my head under the covers
life can bring such druthers
i need my peace
universe please hear me.
