The Real Reason You Don’t Change Anything
It’s not fear of failure. That’s what people say. But that’s not what stops you. It’s something quieter. More subtle. It’s the realization that if you actually change something… everything else might have to change too. And that’s where it gets uncomfortable. Because it’s not just about one decision. It’s about unraveling the life you’ve…

On my creative process…
Typically, my inspiration doesn’t work in a linear fashion–I’m gifted with an exciting scene or possibility, then I write my way towards it. Along the way, my characters develop their voices and reveal the philosophies that form their worldview. As I draft and edit, draft and edit (and once I’m finished drafting, edit edit edit…

It Was Never Supposed to Feel Like This
It’s not that anything is wrong. That’s what makes it harder to explain. You’re doing what you’re supposed to do. You’ve followed the path. You’ve made the decisions that make sense. And from the outside? Everything looks fine. But inside… there’s something that doesn’t line up. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just a quiet, constant feeling:…

You Already Know — You Just Haven’t Acted Yet
At some point… it stops being a question. It’s not: “what if something is off?” You already know it is. It’s not: “maybe there’s something more.” You’ve felt that long enough to know there is. The uncertainty isn’t the problem anymore. The hesitation is. Because once you see it… once you feel it clearly… you…

A zany and profane ad for my social media
What the ass-bulb is happening, all you colon-stuffing adventurers who stuck a super durable, light-emitting device up your bunghole in a drunken stupor then completely forgot about it, now you’re wandering past CERN as it opens a wormhole into other dimensions and triggers glitches in the electromagnetic paradigm all through the universe, as a result…

You’re Not Lost — You’re Ignoring Something
You’re not lost. It just feels that way. Because when something in your life doesn’t fit… your first instinct isn’t to question it. It’s to fix yourself. You assume:you’re overthinkingyou’re being dramaticyou just need to push through So you adjust. You adapt. You try to make it work. And for a while… it does. At…

Musings
As I get older, I’ve experienced multiple instances of good turning bad, and bad turning good. It’s encouraged me to tone down the judgment and reactive negativity. On a related note, I’ve come to believe that true abundance isn’t defined by time or material, but from possibility itself. Who knows what opportunities we’ll be able…

The Moment Everything Changes (Most People Miss It)
Most people think change happens in big moments. Something dramatic.Something obvious.Something you can point to and say: “that’s when everything shifted.” But that’s not how it actually works. It starts quietly. A thought you can’t shake.A feeling you can’t explain.A sense that something isn’t lining up the way it should. You try to ignore it.…

On my creative process…
Quentin Tarantino openly admits to stealing the composition of scenes, shot-for-shot, from certain movies. Yet there’s undeniable energy that comes through in his work–it feels fresh and unique and wholly his own. This led me to believe that originality isn’t really a primary concern, especially if it’s a list of technical boxes that needs to…
