#Humility

Humility is a word I’ve learned to use more often nowadays. A few years back, I would have laughed in your face and demonstrated in all possible ways how humble I was, and how I didn’t need to get humbler because truly, I was the humblest out there. Fact. I was the cockiest jerk alive.…

#Enough or Not Enough

It’s never going to be good enough. I’m never going to be good enough. People will judge me, and criticize me, mostly I will be hard on myself, bringing myself down, so down, my life won’t mean anything until I achieve absolute perfection. Writing, composing, living…My stories aren’t good enough. My life isn’t good enough.…

#Awake

On January 9, 2013, I wrote a post titled “Back to Black”. That post can be read here. There’s nothing so insidious but the disease that keeps telling people they need pain to be creative. I believed that lie for too long. I basked in this misery for years. And for what result? I lost…

Note to Self (215) Gratitude

Today I’m grateful to be sane. To be healthy. To have a roof over my head. A cute kitty cat. Food. A job. God. Friends. My poodle. A purpose. Every second I’m awake, I appreciate even the dullest things. It’s part of the journey. A snowflake landing on the tip of my nose, a phonecall,…

Note to Self (176) Detachment

Note to Self (168) #Insanity

I believe in the saying “men sana in corpore sano“, which means a sound mind in a healthy body. I’ve always exercised and stayed active. But there are moments where you don’t really feel like going for a jog will change what’s going wrong in your life. You eat, or you starve yourself. You abuse…

Note to Self (162) Limbo

I haven’t been blogging much. Two reasons for that: my fantasy series Death by Chocolate is taking much of my writing time, and I don’t have many bad or difficult things to blog about. Honestly, I started this blogging adventure as therapy and it helped tremendously. I cannot advise people enough to write down everything…

Note to Self (154) #Change

Time for change has come. My revolution started over one year ago and I’m ready to roll even harder! Only greatness can be achieved if I follow my dreams, no matter where they might lead me. I’m all about hard work and sweat, love and passion, struggle, tears, and everything that makes my day an…
