I was imagining all the great things that could happen from this Covid19 disaster. I was thinking how great would it be to gather brilliant minds in one place who don’t feel compelled to bitch together about what is wrong, who won’t be tempted to fall prey to media hyperbole, but who will respond as […]

I used to be a future-thinker. And then I was told to live in the moment. I wanted to plan. And then I was reminded life is short. Which is it?

“And you will try to hide and make it seem like it’s nothin’ But really you feel like everything is crashin’ around you And you develop a problem in trustin’ in other people Which later became an issue that will mentally pound you You only get one life But every time you lookin’ at yours […]
