Accomplishing Aspirations

Askfriend wonders, "Do you feel fulfilled in life? Did you have any aspirations growing up? Have you accomplished those?"

Abstractifying the Bible

I've enrolled in a writing class called Writing Close to the Earth. We just received our first reading materials recently, and the first class activity based on them is a truly fun one.

An Epic Shiner

I get injured in the stupidest ways.

Beware The Darkness

Most of the time my dreams are silly. If you took a video game and crossed it with an action movie, that would be a good basis for my standard dream. Last night I had one that gave me reason to think it was a bit more than the standard brainchurn.

Taking A Stand

I don't take a stand. I don't make waves. Unless I gauge that I'm talking to someone who likely shares my beliefs, I don't bring mine up. I bite my tongue. I grit my teeth.

Punk Rock Heroes

I grew up on a mix of Kenny Loggins, the Beatles, Manhattan Transfer, and lesser-known Christian artists like Rich Mullins, Keith Green, and Michael Kelley Blanchard. Add in a healthy dose of KUSC Los Angeles classical music station, and that was approximately the field of my early listening.

But I Have Something To Say

Ever tried to focus on anything while a howler monkey screams full tilt directly into your ear?

"I can't do that." It's starting to dawn on me how often I've said this in my life. Heck, I remember having an entire defense of the words "I can't" planned out.

Pulling the Brake

48 days ago, I posted the last chapter of the Remara and the Book Thief arc and declared a break. It was time to catch up on everything I'd punted on for months and take a hot minute to breathe and enjoy how much of the story I'd written. It was less a break and more like an ongoing frenetic dash.

Nihongo ga Wakurimasu

Over the years, many people have told me I should learn another language. Overflowing with inertia and struggling to find enough drive to manage my personal projects, I would laugh and tell them it would take me my whole life just to learn how each person in my life understands the English language.

Another Spin Down The Aisle

In my mind's eye, I pulled my shirts and dresses down the closet bar and removed my wedding dress from the very back of the closet. It has been hanging there for almost five years. I paused, a nagging question bubbling up next to the image. But why am I keeping this?
