Waiting room pt 2

I'm in the waiting room right now. You know the feeling, when you are in between point A and B but you can't get to B yet so you're just... waiting. It sucks. You've done everything you can to get to point

The Waiting Room

I've been drowning somewhere in outer space over the last few days. Everything is upside down, there is no gravity, no solid ground, nothing to hold on to. My mind is a million miles of solitude and silence. I try to speak but there is no air. I

tell someone

I don't have it in me to write today, but come hell or high water, I am writing! Part of it is because last month, I told my most admired coworker that I write every single day, no matter what. I doubt he's ever even gone

My week-long road trip (moved from Seattle to TX) reset my brain. Today I cleaned up my notes app and there were so many pointers on how to reduce anxiety and increase my focus. So many writings where I went around in circles overthinking my move, my personal life, my

How I come with ideas for daily blogging

Are experiences really > things?

My best friend and I live in different states and I only get to see her about once a year. Today was that day. She has known me for 13 years and she loves and accepts me fully. Being around her is the most wonderful thing, it's like

Give me new, but different

In the car today, trying to find a radio station, I flipped to a channel and heard, > Now here's what you need to know about Jesus. Man, I thought, how can there be anything new for us to know about Jesus? The story has been around for

Late night anxiety

I'm scared of moving. It's not about leaving Seattle, I don't miss Seattle. But I'm starting over, and I feel alone right now, floating on an island in space, just me... with nothing solid beneath my feet. I am scared that the
