December 5th, 2019 What would you do if a complete stranger walked up to you and told you where you’re going to be two years from now? He’s not guessing. He knows. He tells you that two years from now, you will be happier. He tells you that sights are going to be brighter, tastesContinue reading “Believe In Me Like I Believe In You”

With Great Power, Comes Great Empathy
November 23rd, 2019 Kid at the party tonight: “Hey, um, Spider-Man. I have a question for you. Can I ask you something?” Me: “Anything. What’s up, buddy?” Kid: “I was playing your game at home and I was wondering… What happened to your parents?” Me: “Oh. Hm… my parents were in a plane crash whenContinue reading “With Great Power, Comes Great Empathy”
Letting Go
November 19th, 2019 Last week, I was feeling down. One chilly afternoon I was listening to some of my friends speak from the heart, and one of them said something that somehow explained and helped me understand it. He said, “Now when I get up in the morning, I just have to remind myself andContinue reading “Letting Go”
Be Here Now
November 6th, 2019 There will always be people there to remind you of who and what you used to be. Someone who, instead of celebrating your achievements of the moment, will tell you how you would have previously failed. Someone who will mention how you used to act as opposed to how you’re behaving rightContinue reading “Be Here Now”
To Us
October 25th, 2019 This is a shout out (and a lift up) to the crazy people like me: to those of you who have collaborative hearts, but have found that in order to make any of your dreams a reality, you have to do it yourself. It doesn’t matter what your dream is, either. YouContinue reading “To Us”
Open Line
October 10th, 2019 Bad vibes in Minnesota right now. But I see good vibes online right now; post after post about mental health awareness, and the normalization of this kind of discussion is something I am passionately for. In fact: it deeply informs my work today. Here is my pitch for The Weirdos: this isContinue reading “Open Line”
No Joke
October 9th, 2019 Two guys walk out of a bar. It doesn’t really matter why they walked out. And this isn’t the start of a joke. No, this is something entirely different. So, two men tried leaving the restaurant tonight. The reasons themselves don’t matter and don’t even appear clear to me; but they areContinue reading “No Joke”
Great Power
October 3rd, 2019 Will Smith and I are on the same wavelength. I had been thinking about writing a post about the difference between fault and responsibility lately, and then I saw a video of his yesterday in which he perfectly describes what I was going to say. That smug ass. To sum it up:Continue reading “Great Power”
Fall, With You I Fall So Fast
September 27th, 2019 My brain is probably backwards, but I’ve always felt like fall is a beginning. I think most people assign spring as the season of something new. But for me, the heat death of summer has always signified endings. The end of friendships. The end of romances. The end of freedom. Because whereContinue reading “Fall, With You I Fall So Fast”
Be Stupid
September 22nd, 2019 This post is just for me. I’m putting it here in case I ever forget and I need to find it. Everyone has their ineffable qualities that make them who they are. Everybody knows somebody who, when you’re asked why you like them, you sigh and say, “I don’t know. There’s justContinue reading “Be Stupid”
