The Most Beautiful Sight
Never has anything so beautiful every enter my eyes and pierce my soul as what I just witnessed less than an hour ago. It was a pleasantly unexpected sight, that I can’t get out of my head. What I witnessed was so beautiful, in fact, that I had a difficult time concentrating on words that…

Trusting Your Gut
We have all heard the saying “trust your gut.” Your gut might have different meanings for different people, but it basically means that you need to trust your instincts. Why do we need to trust our instincts? Didn’t we evolve to have a higher level of thought, reasoning, and intellect? Yes, and that’s typically the…

Honest Liars
The one act I hate that people do is lie. I mean, there are little white lies designed to not hurt someone’s feelings. “Do I look fat in this?” The answer is ALWAYS “No” even if that isn’t the truth. I’m not talking about those types of lies. I’m talking about lies that aren’t necessary.…

Is Love a Drug?
There are so many cliché anecdotes about love being a drug. The question, though, is, well is it? Before we get into that, we need to understand the difference love and infatuation. They seem similar on the surface, but there is a bit of a difference between the two. We also need to look at…

Oblivious
How do people go through life being so completely oblivious to everyday things?

Make or Break
I cannot get over how a single conversation can either make or break a mood, or even a day. A conversation with one person might put you in the most foul mood you’ve ever experience. It could fill you with sadness and despair. You couldn’t have imagined this person could ever be so selfish, or…

Fixers
By nature, men are fixers. Need food? Let me go kill that deer, and we’ll eat. That bear threatening our home? Let me go shoot it in the face and make a nice rug out of it. There’s a pipe leaking? Let me fix that. It’s what we do (in the classical sense. I have…

Fair Share Oblivious
The more and more I look around the house, the more shit I see of things people used but were too lazy to put back up. The sweeper died after 10 minutes? Well, it’s not designed to sweep the entire house, just a room and charge it. Where is that sweeper at? Leaning against the…

Conversations
Have you ever had one of those conversations that gets to the core of your soul? Raw, but not brutal. Insightful without being preachy. A conversation that holds on so deeply that you are still thinking about it, even through your dreams? Yeah, those are about as rare as actual evidence of Bigfoot, but God…
