[PROMPT] How do you cultivate discipline? (pt.1)
… with pain. I’m writing this post while accosted by a headache and nausea, both attempting to drag me into migraine territory. Sure, it may be argued that it’s stupid to push myself under such circumstances… but not today. This wordsmith has a point to make. Listen, you have to push yourself past the pain,…
I wrote this for you
Yes, you; I see you. The pain behind your eyes and that soft smile, within the carefully selected words and tone. I find it in your gaze, steps or way you sit. The quiet sigh. I know you are suffering. You haven’t told me and the others don’t know. Maybe several don’t care. On certain…

How I became a “bad Christian”
Over the past year, several people asked about my ‘religious’ background. A knot forms in my stomach before my usual reply, “I act as if God exists.” Many might assume this response is one turn from an agnostic-inspired stance, but in my case it’s a lot to do with the defining meaning and deeper implications…

No, we don’t talk about my lazy-a$$ falling asleep on deadline day. Sleep deprivation is a real and serious problem affecting many worldwide.…
The Call to Sacrifice Your Social Life
Emergency meeting – calling all terrible, absent, busy, distracted, working, tired, unavailable, suffering and overall questionable people. The reviews are in; we suck. Welp, growing up sure didn’t go according to plan. Growing older isn’t either, so where did we go wrong? Maybe life went wrong. Either way, it’s no use having a pity party.…
The Answers You Seek Are Inside Your Fear
You will find what you want in the place you least wish to look. Go inside your fear and face it. That is the place where you discover yourself, what matters to you and why you see the world and its people as you do. People strive to avoid their fears, numb their emotions and…
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Crossing Guard
I feel more appreciated over the past three months than at any other point in my life. Thank you. Where do I start? I didn’t know picking up my stop sign and whistle would completely change my life. Starting my outdoor job was a godsend. Blessed in the fresh air of a beautiful community, away…
