One person's musings on their self-evolution journey

Month: June 2016

Difficult Deeds Done

We continued last session’s line of discussion in therapy today. Today was difficult to get through. It meant acknowledging some tough truths about my life and beginning the process of coming to grips with them, but I think some good will come out of today’s session. We’re looking forward to long-term goals at this point… Read More Difficult Deeds Done

Every Day Is A Blank Page

What have you done with your day? If you’re like me, you slept off and on until nearly noon, finally got up, tuned Pandora to the Skrillex station, got some housework done, then sat down to track the final moments of the Iceland-England Euro2016 match. (Iceland won, 2-1, in what is being considered a stunning… Read More Every Day Is A Blank Page

New Blood, Old Pains

My radio station family is growing! We’ve brought two new DJs on board. One is a longtime listener who’s been working to become a DJ for years, and I’m thrilled that he finally made it. The other is a newcomer to the community, so I don’t know that much about him, only that he’s got… Read More New Blood, Old Pains

Didja Miss Me?

Well, that was fast. A few days ago I said I was taking a break for an offline writing exercise. I finished that up last night, about four days before I anticipated being done, so here I am. Today’s been somewhat rough. We had the car serviced this morning and in addition to the regular… Read More Didja Miss Me?

Taking a Short Break (Sort Of)

You’ll notice that I haven’t written since Saturday. That’s partly because I forgot, partly because I couldn’t think of anything to write about, and partly because I’ve been working on an offline writing exercise. For the next few days I’m going to be making that exercise (which is long and very introspective) my writing priority… Read More Taking a Short Break (Sort Of)

Fighting Sleep and Promised Pictures

Today’s blog post is going to be quick and dirty. Let me handle the title of today’s blog post in reverse order. Above is a picture of the finished Fallingwater build that I wrote about at length yesterday and promised to provide today. It was great fun to do and it’s brilliantly put together. Of… Read More Fighting Sleep and Promised Pictures

A Dream (Sort Of) Fulfilled

I wasn’t the best student when I was in high school. Homework bored me to absolute tears, and thanks to several years in a private school that would just say “well, he knows the material, we can overlook the lack of homework and just pass him” I never learned the discipline of doing homework. As… Read More A Dream (Sort Of) Fulfilled

One Giant Leap

Back on Sunday I wrote vaguely about my greatest shame, and how it would be a topic of conversation between me and my therapist at some point in the future. That point was today. I’ve told the story before, but clinically, never invoking the emotions that I felt during the experience, and so I’ve never… Read More One Giant Leap

Overnight Musings

I have a category for my overnight posts, when I’m suffering from insomnia. I haven’t written in it since last October, which is a good sign. A lot of the time, my insomnia is fueled by either nightmares I can’t shake or migraines that won’t go away. Tonight’s a little different: I woke up with… Read More Overnight Musings

We Are Orlando

I’ve tried to avoid being political or deal with what would be controversial topics on my wall and in my blog. I’ve tried to put the focus on me and my own struggles. But this is my struggle today, and so here it is. I’ve tried unsuccessfully for the last 36 hours or so to… Read More We Are Orlando
