June 25th, 2019 I heard a wonderful concept today: if you can worry, then you can meditate, because worrying is just meditating about all the wrong things. Hell, yeah, it is. Instead of finding my inner peace and shit, I repeat things like, “I am such an awkward loser” in my head until I believeContinue reading “A Meditation On Worry”

“The Most Boringest Ride Ever”
June 24th, 2019 “I do not want to go on the most boringest ride ever.” My dad didn’t let me live this one down for a while. We were at Disney World, which, in my young heart, was the most perfect place a person could imagine. Heaven was a distant and possibly fictional second. IContinue reading ““The Most Boringest Ride Ever””
Check Your Intent
June 20th, 2019 I don’t have my strong point of view because I think I’m always right. I’m not. I’m just doing my best with the rest of you. No, I have a strong point of view because if you want to read something bland or vague or generically inspirational, there are a million otherContinue reading “Check Your Intent”
Legacy
June 16th, 2019 Because I spend a lot of time thinking about death, I spend an equal amount of time thinking about legacy. Not necessarily the big things. The scientific discoveries or philanthropic donations. No, I mean stuff like how you treat people. And how you post things on the internet. If you died tomorrow,Continue reading “Legacy”
[Start The Clapping]
June 4th, 2019 I help run a thing on Tuesday afternoons. To do that, they give me a folder that tells me what to say and what to do. Today, I noticed that after one of the statements, it read [Start the Clapping]. And I thought to myself: “Hell, yeah.” That’s what we need toContinue reading “[Start The Clapping]”
Tightrope
May 28th, 2019 Imagine your life is a high-wire act. It might not be hard to pretend, actually. Every part of (and person in your) life is one thread in the tightrope that you’re tirelessly walking. If you find a loose or stray wire, don’t worry. Your only job is to focus on the strong,Continue reading “Tightrope”
Pizza Party
May 22nd, 2019 We made someone their last pizza today. If you’re an average, healthy 25-year-old human being, you have approximately 2,120 pizzas ahead of you. That number isn’t insignificant, but it also isn’t that many. You might have a little less, and you won’t likely have more. This isn’t meant to alarm you. ButContinue reading “Pizza Party”
Paper Beats Rock
May 18th, 2019 I’m struggling this weekend. This isn’t a sympathy post. It’s the opposite, actually, because its intent is to solve its own problem. My life’s journey right now feels tenuous; like I’m walking on a tightrope of just a few finely-strung muscles. I don’t feel like I’m particularly measuring up to anybody else;Continue reading “Paper Beats Rock”
The Secret Of Change
May 13th, 2019 I’m about to tell you a secret of the universe. It’s one of the big ones, and I’m not going to keep it quiet anymore. I’m about to share with you the secret of change. I know what you’re thinking: “Whoa, Dennis. You can’t do that. If you just go and tellContinue reading “The Secret Of Change”
Make The Mundane Excellent
May 6th, 2019 I feel like I’ve been a million people lately. It’s like my brain has been scattered across the multiverse, and the only thing connecting it to itself is a current of anxious electricity. I read an piece recently about the concept of excellence. The writer argued that since most of our livesContinue reading “Make The Mundane Excellent”
