A Thankless Duty
Don’t cry, or complain, Of the hardships of life, Learn to thrive, and to strive, And to function through strife. Learn to attack the day,

Darkness. Ravens cry, wolves howl, Thunder erupts from deep within the clouds. *** Lightning cracks, Illuminating the sky,

How I Enter 2023
Happy New Year! Here we are, finally. It’s the first of January in an entirely new year, and I can’t help but feel excited for all the experience and opportunity to come. Has it been an amazing year?

Save Yourself, Save Humanity
If you feel like the world we live in is in absolute turmoil, you’re not alone. It’s no secret that we’re living in a dark time. But it’s not a traditional evil we face. It’s not like the stories of old, where the heroes can take up arms and ride into battle against the unnamed darkness that threatens humanity. It’s a deeper issue, a sickness growing deep within each of us, like a cancer.

3 Mindset Shifts For Lasting Sobriety
Sobriety is hard, man. There’s no two ways about it. There’s a reason literally nobody does it. Whether it’s that niggling voice in the back of your mind that tells you a couple of beers is normal and fine, or the other (often louder) voice that tells you moderating to the weekends is ‘A-Okay,’ there’s always some kind of excuse to have a drink. And this makes the whole process a little like self-imposed torture in the beginning.

50 Days ago I decided to go sober. I decided that I deserved better for myself than the way I was living. I decided to elevate myself from the situations I’d often find myself in, purely from continuing to live in a way that facilitated toxic habits.

Top 10 Marvel Movies Ranked (Part 1)
I'm not gonna lie... I'm struggling to get on board with a post-endgame Marvel. There was something truly magical about the multi-tonal journey between Tony Stark's grounded introduction in 2010 to the huge culmination of super-powered beings vs tyranical purple alien in Endgame.

She Hulk Episode 1: First Impressions
So I watched the first episode of She Hulk today and it was... fine. I must admit I've struggled a little with the tone of the MCU's Phase 4, and I don't think I'm alone in that. I mean Eternals, remember that movie?

There’s No Pain Under Hot Water
There’s no pain under hot water. The ache of the day is pulled from the pores, The cold in your bones soothed and warmed.
