A Letter to Megyn Kelly
No continuation of “the road so far” today. Just gotta get something off my chest. I had a hard time falling asleep last night, ruminating about something really dumb. But it got under my skin apparently. So here I am. I try to follow my all-time favorite YouTuber’s lead and stay as disconnected as possible…

Hindsight and the Big Tool
Well, I didn’t think this would happen so quickly. But here we are. Time to go back and talk about the big incident that got me and my partner fired last October. Reason being, during my quiet time and Tarot reading this morning, a bolt of lightning hit my brain. I have my perspective shifted…

The Hermit’s Lamp
No story ever really starts at the beginning. And seeing as how beginning is my biggest challenge, let’s start with yesterday. There is a long and wild, winding road to yesterday. Every step along the way seems to be a story all its own. This one in particular is a story of progress, self-awareness, and…
