How do you tell someone you’re done? How do you tell them their services are no longer needed? As with everything in life, it depends on the situation for sure. Firing someone because their work ethics are horrible is a lot easier that telling someone you’ve been with for years that it’s time to move…

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…

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…

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…

Some days are physically exhausting, while other days are mentally exhausting. This doesn’t even include days that are emotionally exhausting. If you get all three days in a row, you are just plain fucked. I haven’t had all three in about a week. Today was mentally and emotionally exhausting. I love puzzles, and I love…

Is it possible for two people to be linked in a way they could not have imagined? Everyone remembers quantum entanglement from their grade-school quantum physics class, right? This isn’t Star Trek where they actually have shit like that; it’s a joke. It could very well be possible though. Being three-dimensional creatures in a three-dimensional…

How many times can a person fuck up in their life before they run out of second chances? I know, you technically only get one second chance. The next one is the third, but quit being a dick. There’s a point here. People go through phases in life. Some people get lucky enough to marry…

Some people wear their emotions on their sleeves. You would have to be blind to not see the emotions these people are feeling. It doesn’t matter if they are happy, sad, angry, or any emotion on the spectrum, you’ll know what it is. I’m not one of those people. In fact, I do not emote…

There is this philosophical view that there cannot be light without darkness, or darkness without light. Maybe it’s true, but when we measure our life in dark moments and light moments, we do not need to experience darkness to know it exists. We hear about horrible tragedies on the news, social media, and through friends…

There was a saying when I was a kid: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me!” Wait, that’s not quite how it went. Ah! “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.” Granted, words did hurt. It was a bit of a nursery rhyme…
