Family
The reason behind my why
Time and tide wait for no one. Life is a sprinting race of the survival of the fittest, you have to hustle your way to the top. We all have heard this haven't we, while existence is over-commodified and hyper-fixated on the materialistic drawls we achieve and external praise that is showered upon us on striding on the contingencies of the timeline that is presented to us, we often forget living with intent and gratitude for all that we have and run in the rat race of proving our worth and accomplishing what we need to, essentially not even wanting to be a part of this glorified way of living, yet doing so to be validated and accepted as someone worthy. If you have been through this or are going through this, I want to remind you that you are not alone.

Tying The Knot
Weddings really are a time to be alive. Everyone is a sucker for a ceremony of love in which two people who are soulmates are ready to tie the knot and fortify their love forever. I only started going to weddings just over the course of the past decade of my adult life. For some reason as a kid I never got around to many. I’ve seen many people I love walk down the isle of ever lasting love, but being part of the wedding of my little brother and his better half has definitely been one of my favorites.

In Memoriam. Content Warning.
Tomorrow is Monday, but it is a special day: Memorial Day. So many of my friends and acquaintances celebrate having a long weekend and I get it, in our busy society, the days available to be with family and just breath are few and far between.

No Plus One . Top Story - May 2024.
It's nearly one AM and I just got back from my third wedding of the four in this last month alone, and I have always been alone. I hide behind my camera to pretend to be useful, hide behind a safety net of skill set. So I do not have to confront the loneliness that is sleeping alone when everyone else seems to have a partner to crawl into bed with. I love the time spent with those who decided I was worth the 30-plus dollars per plate they decided to spend on me, and I do not need to have a partner on these occasions, but it would be nice to have someone notice, me. See when I am in the corner because they know I need time to recharge and to kiss me on the head until the time has come to leave. Maybe that's the problem about being a professional storyteller, I dream of something that isn't meant for me.

Breaking free from the obsession of work
In our modern society today you have to become obsessed with work for you to go far. Aside from those born in really extreme wealth, the rest of us have to work very hard in order to obtain sufficient wealth to allow us live comfortably or at least how we wish. Some people are contented with having an average life, while others are more concerned with doing all they can to get all they can, this eventually leads us to become workaholics.

Toxic Relationships: The Most Addictive Drug
As human beings it is in our nature to connect. We all crave connection and went through a period in our lives when we went without it. For most of us it started during our childhoods, coming from a household with an inconsistent caregiver. The inconsistency of this connection leaves a hole in our hearts and an emptiness that compels us to look for connection elsewhere. That elsewhere often comes in the form of unhealthy attachments like drinking and drug usage, but who would’ve ever guest that the most addictive drug came in the form of people? The most addictive drug is a toxic relationship.

"I" does not always mean that it's about me. I am 75 years old. I actually wrote articles that were found that I wrote at 16 and 17. So,
