Understanding Recovery

When the partner I shared a life with for years unexpectedly broke up with me in the Fall of 2018, I was emotionally shattered. Just getting out of bed in the morning was a chore, let alone being productive at work. It took months for me to recover; most of…

Exhalation

Recently, I broke through. I don’t really know what happened… I just woke up empowered, alert, strong. I’ve felt this way before, but it’s been a few months, at least. Suddenly I had the strength to kick bad habits. the strength to resume meditation, the strength to write again (hello…

The Lost Year — 2020 in review

It’s December 28th as I write this, and 2020 is rolling to a slow, painful, and unsanctimonious end. As I look back on the last year of my life, I’m filled with conflicted emotions. This year has had some incredibly high-highs, and some depressingly low-lows. …

Whether you like it or not, you’re either a winner or a loser. I wish I could say you had a significant choice in the matter, but you didn’t; it was mostly decided for you by a society that believes in a limited number of seats at the top. The winners are those who are deemed worthy of the top, and who now…

Don’t Throw Away Your Shot

There’s a tendency among those of us that dream big to… undermine our own ambitions. We grew up dreaming of the big screen, and rocket-ships, and political reform — but in the end, we eventually decided “it’s just not worth it”. We gave up before we really got started. We…

A Productivity Experiment with Consequences

The Problem COVID-19 brought a variety of changes: the roads are empty, friends are bunking with parents for the first time in years, and some people have a year’s supply of toilet paper while others have none (yikes 😬). The biggest post-COVID change to my day-to-day is that I work from home…
