I Promise I’m Not Always Like This
I don’t have anxiety. Well, maybe that’s not true. Let’s just say that the form of anxiety I get, I don’t pay much attention to or let in because I’m not one to use a crutch to make excuses for myself. My anxiety is one of a different kind that leads to a bit of …
Complaints Are Like Assholes
Everyone has them. You cannot go a single day in your life without hearing a complaint. Even if you took yourself to a remote island resort, you wouldn’t be able to do it. Within a few hours, you’d overhear the staff at the resort complaining about each other or the way their boss treats them …
Sometimes This Happens

I grew up a child of fortune. Fortunate enough to live in a nice enough suburb. Fortunate enough to have food on the table, a cozy bed to sleep in and a roof over my head. I was given all of the things a kid could want. I got new bicycles, was able to play …
After I’m Gone
When I leave this earth I hope that people choose to see me for who I know I am inside. Although it’s hard to predict how you come across to others, I hope that the people who were close to me saw the person I was both flaws and strengths alike. There is no greater …
Death IS Coming For You
There is not enough open discussion on death. As humans, we tend to avoid pain and seek out pleasurable conversations. Talking about death makes people uncomfortable. Maybe because it’s such an unknown. If only we could peek at what it was like then maybe we could rest a bit easier knowing what happens after the …
