The Time Thieves
Could these letters I am writing to you every week, be my diary entries? I know. Just imagine for a second. If we could all look inside each other’s journals. All of a sudden the whole world would be revealed, no mysteries left to solve. No hidden agendas. No misunderstandings. No secrets. No Invisible Loss. […]
The Pretenders
Did you know that one of the most authentic relationships of my life is with you? I sit here every week writing exactly what I want to say. There are no pretenses. No adjusting my words. I just tell you things as they are. As the years have gone by, I understood the importance of […]
Short and Sweet
This is a first. But I have been flying, traveling, experiencing, living so much that this letter did not get to be written today. Instead, I am sending you a short note to tell you to drop anything that is not important and go do something fun. I don’t care what it is. But don’t […]
Hidden Rooms
Oh the worlds we never see. Infinitely surprising. Devastatingly never ours. Some of them, impossibly foreign. Further than our physical bodies can get to. But also vaster than the confines of our minds. There is so much safety in staying inside the same world. But with so much unknown loss in it. Unknown because we […]
Five Cupcakes On a Tray
Be yourself. Be you, they say. Live your life however you want. But that is the thing. Who the heck are you? What kind of life do you want to live? The old life is not ever coming back. I checked. A thousand times. This is about the versions of the future you get to […]
The Partial Truth of Virtual Relationships
Every friend and every relative, lives a whole other life inside our minds. There, they occupy worlds that have nothing to do with reality. These worlds are not play pretend, or unreal. They just appear more real to us. They inhabit an intimate interaction with ourselves. We can hear their whispers. We ‘know’ their thoughts. […]
Loyalty Is Rare
Heartbreak is tiring. Exhausting. Consuming. Deeply confusing. It is hard to understand. You will often wonder why certain things have to happen. Especially if you are a good person going about your day, expecting the best and doing your best. It will be the most heartbreaking for the good hearted ones. The lovers. The givers. […]
Living Out Loud At Long Last
When you inject life in your world it bounces off on multiple surfaces at first. Remember if you are still in the Waiting Room and you invited life to come back, it will try to find you in the confined space. Sometimes we step out of the Waiting Room in quick bursts. On our way […]
Oranges and Fried Eggs
In the last few months I experienced one of my most significant Life Reentries to date. I taught myself self care for the first time. It started with exercise, then it moved to food choices, to my work, my routine, and it landed me on my childhood dream. This journey had many blind spots and […]
Running Naked in The Streets
It is a deliverance of self to break free from serving a life that doesn’t give us an inner autonomy. I recently experienced such a thing. I delivered myself to myself, finally. What that entails cannot be explained in simple terms. It is a form of redemption that can only reign after we overstay our […]
