Ever since that year, 2011, I was forever cracked, broken. I could not get out of this never ending worry for my health. I went on a no carb little meat diet almost 10 years. Then I fell into this on-going battle with binge eating after the 10 days silent retreat. I still struggle to…

Rejected @ 45
I was rejected, again. Jeez, again, really? Seriously? At the age of 45? It sucks. It still sucks, and it is difficult to not think that it’s me who screwed it up.

I Love Them. I Want Them.
These were my first pair of Nike Frees when I first joined Nike back in the 2000s. I wore them everyday. But darn I just announced my “values” to the world. I want them, but I don’t need them, but I want this. Damn, life is not fun.
Life Truths @10 August, 2021.
