And Nothing, Or Everything, Matters
The title says it all: nobody owes you anything, not a thing., and nobody owns you. This is not about financial transactions or legal agreements, but about interpersonal promises, relationships, and intentions. You get to make your choices, you react to the stimulus in your own world. Each other person is a completely separate entity;…
A recurring theme in my life, and in my recent conversations, had been one of standing on the edge of a decision, or experience, and feeling trepidation about taking the next step. Maybe you have already decided that you need to take this step to move forward. Or it’s an extreme sports thing that you…
A few people have recently shared with me that they think that time doesn’t exist. Physicist-me believes that it does but certainly accepts that our language for it is human-created. Adding to our observable dimensions of space, the math works when we include time and creates predictable results. Still, philosopher-me knows that our conscious minds…
This is a collection of writings on various topics. Some of them would make sense to be read one before another. This pinned post can be a starting point for my own recommended reading order. These are in chronological order with the oldest at the top. Not all posts made this summary; feel free to…
Call it evolution, enlightenment or a numbing to pleasures of my past but I find myself uncertain-of and examining the factors that lead to a fulfilling life for me.

This is the fruit of my crucible. I want to live a life of integrity; a life beyond reproach. I crave understanding and unity, communication and respect. I want to bring support and safety, a heart of honor and life. I want to celebrate humanity, I want to honor the paths and pursuits of myself…
With all of the things I’ve written about free thought, and not having to do everything in line with how society expects you to, it’s important to make one thing clear: What I’m advocating for is personal decisions and personal choice. Sometimes those choices will line up exactly with what society might expect. In matters…
You can’t have revolutionary thought or significant growth-outside-the-system without people thinking that you are a bit off. What madness lives within that mind? Why would you think that way? Norms are the norms but the norms are not necessarily correct, nor immutable, and to go against them is to stand out, to risk a reputation…
One of my friends is a very light and happy person. Me, I come across as having a darker aesthetic and vibe. She commented that it was very obvious I liked light and that in the darkness the light is that much more visible. This is where I live, a light in the dark. This…
