Something to write home about

High school, nighttime, when you needed a private place to smoke a bowl, church parking lots fit the ticket. Except for holidays, churches were always empty and their parking lots were wide enough that you could see anybody pulling in from a distance.

Reading Crime and Punishment again after many years. This time around I realize that I am the destitute. I am the poor. I am the scoundrel. I am the one who pawns my loved one's stockings to get drunk. I am the one who forces someone's daughter to prostitute herself...

Rodia contemplates when to admit he's lost his job

Have Courage

Stop being so scared of being something you aren't. You aren't anything but the things you do and the thoughts you think. This is always changing. You never really are. More so you are becoming. Quit being scared of becoming what you want to become rather than something you think...

A look into how a reaction and response are formed

What is a good relationship?
