I’ve recently reopened my dream folder on my computer and have had some interesting ideas spring forth. Before I can allow myself to feel comfortable with the dream, I need to explore why another model of it failed. We were successful in our mission. We excelled at peer to peer groups, financial assistance, and helping…

An Insight into My Motivational Landscape
My views will not be normal, and they will depart from logical structure and lean into emotional reasoning. I’ve been thinking a lot about the journey across the churning river that held me back. It was a mixture of logic and emotions that were difficult to sort. So many moments created shock waves in my…
Gave me a compliment
What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you? A lot of my life has been spent living in emotional pain from loneliness. In high school an English teacher I wasn’t even in class with would stop me in the hall and tell me I was doing a good job and to keep my…

Where Will I Be

Think of Sumthin
Together they hanged, All together alone, Each hundreds of miles apart, Screens aflare with gun fire, As they hanged about, Each alone firing their weapons, Aliens dying in masses, As laser after blaster fires in return, Missions won, Treasures stolen, All afire as they, Sit, doing a lot, While trying to, Think of Sumthin, To…
