Soon I’ll Be 60 Years Old

I want to look back and know that I’ve loved and lost, and loved anew. I want to shake my waist in the dance of life knowing that I grew, not only in age and stature, but in mind, soul, and in harmonious sync with the universe. Friends will have departed, and new ones found. The circle of life has to turn, doesn't it?

Another Fatherless Child

The fatherless lady is likely to be modest. One notices the self-doubting child in their eyes. The fatherless man will probably laugh very easily and often at themselves, and all their errors and being an idiot. They won’t be overly proud; they may be sadder than the others but also more apt to see and value the sadness in life.

Tomorrow’s Monday, AGAIN!

I need to get up, but this guy is having a blast. Mondays are his favorite because he knows most of the work starts today. He takes his time; he has no HR breathing down his neck for coming late to work. He has no weekend assignment that was postponed up to this very moment that is spent in sleep.

Your Word

Do you remember all the excitement you had back in December? “2024! NEW YEAR!” Do you remember all the commitments you made to yourself? The promises?

Fighters, Not Strugglers

A suckling child grows fond of the mother’s eyes, the mother’s voice, the mother’s scent, and the mother’s touch, right from the first breastfeeding. Over time, even if the distance between the child and the mother grows, the child can never forget that voice. It knows it all too well.

The Shortcut Is Probably Too Long

You probably began with the desire for a real transformation, of the type you see others achieving, and it can take a surprisingly long time to notice that that isn’t happening. Progress may be happening, but your goal isn’t.

Inside The Mind Of A Master Procrastinator

Actually, let's read the entire Wikipedia page of the Goldenberg scandal, because I just remembered that that happened. Then.. Then we're going to go over to the fridge, to see if there's anything new in there since 10 minutes ago. Then back to YouTube and Mr Beast videos because why not.

Itutu

There isn’t much that should rattle a person of itutu. Itutu isn’t any sort of divine gift or trait left for a peculiar people. It’s a quality that can be cultivated, and is the outcome of having absorbed a particular view of how existence works.

Tie Your Camel

I like things done my way or not done at all. This makes things that are out of my control such as people’s behavior, choices, beliefs etc, affect me so much. Have you ever gotten angry at what someone has done yet it doesn’t affect you at all?

Just.. Showing.. Up

Lets say we’re making a commitment to ourselves that we’ll drink 5 glasses of pure water every day, or that we’ll study for our CPAs every day. We’re definitely going to have days where we can’t be bothered. We’ll make up dubious reasons, telling ourselves that one missed day doesn’t matter and that we’ll work twice as hard the following day to make it up. This is a subtle trap.

The End Justifies The Means?

Wrong or unfair methods may be used if the overall goal is good. We excuse our greed by claiming that the end justifies the means.

What Pen Do You Use?

Copying another person’s gym routine won’t make you as buff as them. Copying another person’s writing technique won’t make your writing as good or bad as theirs. Wearing the same gym gear as some celebrity on the net won’t make your gym routine any better.

Friction Reduction

Want to write everyday? Have a pen and paper always close to you; next to your bed, a small notebook in your pocket, or in a more modern way, have your notepad app on your phone’s opening screen. Will make it easier when an idea crosses your mind at anytime, you can flash out your phone and jot it down.

Some Nights

I see single mothers who break their backs doing miniature jobs up until late just to get back home to starving children who expect something to eat for the night. And they wake up the next day to start it all over again, as if their backs are not already messed up from all the work they do. And never will you hear them complain of their short nights and extremely long days.
