Don't be a dick
A little over a week ago, my grandfather died. I wasn't there, but my father was. He had been there all week, patiently offering his presence while his father made his final decline, remaining through his periods of distress just as he remained through his periods of calm. Being present when he had nothing to do, and present when he could act, too. It is a labour of love and immense human dignity to witness a dying in this way, and, fortunately, we seldom do it alone, as those who give their whole presence are, in their turn, offered a swelling of the presence of others, and they too, are given a little more. In the best deaths, we build a pyramid of one another, raising our arms in response to an increased emotional need, knowing that while we can never relieve that need, we can bear its weight a little just by being unafraid to hold it.

LEANING ON THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
I reckon that in life as pertaining to matters of faith it’s crystal clear that for the believer or the one who confesses and reposes unyielding trust in God there’s absolutely no case of God being oblivious to our needs or maliciously with mischievous undertones starving us or denying us of what we need in order to make our lives worth living.

An ode to the contradiction of mortal existence
Their life looks so magnanimous and perfect, oh how unfortunate I am to live in mediocrity! The notion of the ambush of abundance on the opposite end of our perceptive spectrum is the most notable contributor to the experiences of gut-wrenching self-doubt and comparison which in turn leads to insecurity and lower self-esteem. How often have you found yourself in the being of experiencing constant self-deprecating your competence and abilities? Have you seldom found yourself guilty for not believing in yourself, or discounting your worth on the hands of others? If you relate to this, this piece is for you. To err is human and to forgive is divine. There is humanness in finding yourself amidst the brevity of nerve-wracking chaos, you are not unworthy or incompetent because you feel like you are a mess or life is not working out the way you exactly want it to work out.
