Losing Grip

  I’m living in a place where I’m not entirely wanted or appreciated. I’m broke af, making it difficult to move. I look at CL ads but see nothing that really fits–and I don’t want to “force” it.   I’m living irresponsibly– and I’m not sure if I care. I don’t want to give in…

Why Relationship Advice is Crap

  I once consulted the I Ching for a reading with a friend of mine. We both “asked” the online app the same question, and to my astonishment, we got completely different answers. The question: is having casual sex good for me? But it kinda made sense. His journey was moving into a more soulful…

My Cabin Steward is a Shaman

It’s the little things. Always the little things. I’m been traveling on a ship that has traveled from Germany to Africa and which is now headed to the Caribbean, and I haven’t had to make my bed.

Failing Faster: Not Your Mama’s Post on Failing

It sounds kinda funny, doesn’t it? Fail? Who wants to fail? But it’s the secret of a truly happy life, in my opinion. So, let’s dissect it. Failing. It sucks. I hate it. And, yet, it’s the key. Now, let’s be clear from the onset: I am not saying that failing is the key. I am…

The Opportunity of Heartbreak

Loneliness. Sadness. Bouts of depression. This shit sucks. My first ever long-term committed relationship. Almost 2 1/2 years. Why have I been such a veritable wreck? And then it hit me: I can rebuild from the ground up. There is a brand new space in my life. Yes, there is emptiness. And until this moment, I…
