There is a deep sense of satisfaction in doing what you love. No, I’m not simply saying this in the ‘big picture of life’ kind of way. Sitting on my bed, wrapped up in my comforter, warm tea and a candle by my bedside, and my Mac on my lap – writing – I’m certainly […]

What Do YOU Want?
It’s time. It’s that time, yes it has come. To answer this question, maybe even question it first. No one will tell you what to do, no one will stop you even. Isn’t that what we’ve always wanted? Independence, freedom of choice, of life? Well it’s here, and now. This post is one of those, […]
Vacant
A position unfilled. There’s more than one way to look at everything. Life and its endless challenges, some familiar, some unknown, yet always there. But isn’t that what makes life a living? These past few days I’ve had this nagging feeling inside me that’s made me feel kind of insipid, like there is something missing, […]
Conversations With Myself – 0813
There are so many things I want to do. Start. Where do I begin? What do you care about the most? Now? Then when? I think something has fundamentally changed within me. Just say it. I feel I have a bigger purpose. This feeling I feel, it is defining me in a new way. This […]
What Is The Cost Of A Dream?
A series of thoughts after just having watched The Founder. Who birthed it? Who saw it through? Who gave it life? Who remembers it too? Be it Facebook or be it Mc Donald’s – it started with an idea, someone else’s even. What do we remember of it today? Just Facebook and Mc Donald’s. But […]
An Act
Every single time that I watch Schindler’s List, I an overwhelmed and overpowered by emotion, emotion no amount of tears do justice to. It comes down to one life-altering fact – an act, of kindness. If all the world’s a stage, and all of life’s a play, then in the many acts of it, in […]
Words
Blank – like a canvas. I write, I erase, I type, I delete. A thousand thoughts and no words at all. Blank – like a canvas. A restlessness, few feelings too many. This is where it all began. Outlet through words, a mind’s escape, my mind. A dream of today, born many yesterdays ago. A […]
The Greatest
To be here and to be alive, it simply is, the greatest. It took me just 2 hours outside of the city to realize how much I needed it, the whiff of nature, the breath of fresh air. So there I was, after 10 miles around the Appalachian trail, lying on plain ground, staring up […]
Who Do You Want To Be?
A top pick from one of the most frequently asked questions, I’m going to say from age 3, “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” What’s wrong with who I am? Simple, yet unsaid. A lot of questions raced through my mind while listening to Shane Koyczan’s TED talk – a plea for more […]
Do You Have The Right Brain?
How are we as humans different than things? To compare, who wants a broken brain any more than they want a broken thing? Ever thought that the two things that differentiate the living from the non-living, is the ability to think and feel. Then within this living, what makes us humans superior? The cognitive ability […]
