Band-Aid

I’ve been finding it harder to explain myself as of late. It must be a bad case of mental fog because it hasn’t quite lifted after two months. I would loosely describe this piece as a reflective story, but it is entirely metaphorical for something I’m not ready to talk about just yet. Just like […]

2022 in Review

What a year, eh? Despite the countless curveballs this year threw at me (mostly in the last 4 months), I somehow made it to the end and kept posting on this site. So what has been accomplished? I shared views on motivational quotes, showcased content from my Twitch channel (changed my screen name) and told […]

Resolve the Resolution

This is for those who can’t stick to their New Year’s Resolutions. Hello! I have a proposition for you! No, no – I’m not selling anything… or maybe I am? I want to sell you an idea but it doesn’t cost anything to buy into it! I am going to challenge myself to do something […]

Holy mackerel! We did it again! Another year of posts successfully shared with the world (of course with the exception of a couple that I promised a while ago). Managing work alongside personal projects has become difficult, but I still come back here to post once a month because I love to write. Glass of […]

The Day I Met Reggie

OK, this story is a bit grim, but it seems funny after it had time to settle. And so it begins…with the bins! About two months ago, I was taking out the bins. The usual, except I’m doing it during the day. I usually go at night to avoid people and stuff. Plus, the night […]

Do You Need a Little Motivation?

Hello, I hope you’re doing well. OK, that may be a bit too formal, so let me be real with you for a moment. Life is kind of a bit hard, isn’t it? Although our problems may differ, the concept of hard times is something that most people can relate to. Financial woes, health issues, […]
