In this blog, I aim to document the experiences and the lessons that I have learned and continue to learn on the ride that is Life. In particular, I aim to open up lines of self-inquiry and conversations that go against the grain… that challenge the status quo… that tell the fucking truth.
Life is inevitably uncertain. Things change. We only have one Life and it is defined solely by Death.
Things that are seemingly great can turn to complete shit. Things that are seemingly terrible can turn to something great. Random shit can go completely sideways. And, the icing on the cake, is that all of this can and usually does happen in the blink of an eye… no warning…. no easing into it… just a direct fucking smack in the face…
Challenges, obstacles, “problems,” whatever else you want to call them, are placed in front of us. Anywhere and everywhere. Most things are not in our control. The only thing it seems we have… at least in theory… are choices. Choices that are brought into being through awareness, in my own experience… Choices that appear to either be to go with or to go against…
Life is a shit show. What do you choose to do with it? The question becomes not why? But, rather, why not?
