The audience of one
I caught myself thinking about growing my audience. Honestly, it's the same thing as yesterday. Fear.
Permission to be bad
The bad work isn't the price you pay before the real work. It is the real work. A piece about making bad art on purpose and putting it out anyway.
Without a fight
Some friendships don't end, they just stop. No drama, no one to blame, just two people who became different people.
Something more
Being generous when you have plenty is easy. Real generosity shows up in scarcity, and it asks for something abundance never charges you.
The shortcut
I'm lazy, and for years that paid off, automating everything I could get away with. But some things have no shortcut. A piece about where laziness stops being a tool and becomes the long way around.
Positive on purpose
A positive attitude isn't a personality trait, it's a decision you keep making. A short piece about why blowing up your life never fixes the part that's actually struggling, and why real change is surrender, not revolution.
Blank slate
A blank page isn't empty, it's everything that hasn't happened yet. A short piece about treating that emptiness as innocence instead of pressure, and the courage it takes to step into the unknown.
Dogs and cats
I brought two dogs into the relationship, my fiancée brought two cats. A piece about living with someone who's wired differently than you. And what dogs and cats have to teach us about people.
The garden
A metaphor from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy about pulling weeds versus planting. And what Buddhism has to do with it.
