One of those nights where I reflect on life and where mine is going is this week. The dark cloud that has followed me ever since I misplaced the inheritance money my father gave me a year ago must be let go. I just feel so bad for losing it, but I need to move […]

It goes without saying that looking at other people’s lives online, comparing them to your own, and feeling inadequate are all natural reactions, but you have no idea what their lives are really like on the inside. In contrast to my friends’ lives, which seem much more exciting and exotic as they travel to far-off […]

After being sick for a week, I still have no sense of smell or taste, so cooking or eating food does not sound like fun right now. But I need to eat, so I’m going to make an omelet with eggs and chopped up bacon pieces to get some calories in me. I’ve lost a […]

I’ve been sick for almost a week and it appears to be coming to an end today. So much for my bike ride down to the beach now that the rain has begun. It looks like there will be two more hours of it before it stops, so I’ll just keep working online and getting […]

This week has been one of those afternoons when I’ve been reflecting on life and where it’s going. I need to let go of the dark cloud that has hung over me since I lost my father’s inheritance money, which he offered me a year ago. I am just so sorry I lost it, but […]

It is easy to look at other people’s lives online and compare them to yours and feel inadequate, but on the surface you have no idea about the reality of their lives. My life appears drab and boring in comparison to my friends who travel around the world to exotic locations, but I’m not sure […]

I haven’t gone outside yet because it started raining about an hour ago when I was about to leave. I’ll write a few more of these stories before going for a long walk with my good friend with my umbrella if it’s still raining. I need to get some exercise because trying to sleep in […]

Part of me wishes to return to the United States to be closer to my family, but another part of me wishes to stay here in order to pursue my musical dreams. So, which part do I listen to? It is undoubtedly difficult to try to live in both places part-time, and I am unsure […]

Okay, the rain has stopped, and I can now go for the hour-long walk I planned to take earlier today. I just talked to my bandmate, and my good friend and I were thinking about playing later, but I’m not sure I’m in good enough shape yet. I still have a lingering cough, which would […]

I need to get outside because I’ve been in the flat all afternoon, and it’s now half past one o’clock in the afternoon, and I feel like a caged animal that wants to run. This time, instead of riding the bike, I’ll take a long walk to the end of the world and back so […]

This week is Mother’s Day, did you call your mother? Well, by the time you read this, it will be too late for that, so hopefully you called momma, and hopefully you still have a momma. My mother is still alive and, hopefully, will be for many years to come because she is the sole […]

I work on these stories seven afternoons a week. My workweek isn’t that bad because I only work about three hours in the afternoon, and driving to work in rush hour traffic is a thing of the past. I used to have stressful engineering tasks, but I quit when I was 32 years old in […]
