The First Surgery
In October I lost my job.
In November I lost my gallbladder.
This is the story of the latter.
But I hope to not lose anything in December.
Just over two weeks ago I was kept up the night with stomach pains. This was the second time in as many months. The first time,...

Emerge
There is the writing habit aspect of this site (or, I suppose, sites like this) and then there is the community aspect. I'm writing now for the latter. I'm still too wounded, too busy, too hungry for the basics to be worried about a growth need like self-actualization. But belonging,...

Man, sitting on floor, in front of laptop computer, arranging something on the floor next to him. Backpacks surround him. He appears to be in a conference center of some kind.

Fear
In 12-step programs there are a lot of aphorisms and words-turned-into-acronyms. Many are hokey. Many are hokey but we don't care. Some are hokey until you need the message behind the thing, then they're useful, maybe even powerful.
"Fear" turned into an acronym is one of my favorites. There are multiples.

Bikes bikes bikes
Today was an incredible edition of the Paris Roubaix bike race. Even if you're not into bike racing you should go look at some of the photos from today, just for the shock value.

Perfect
There's some kind of intense inner need I have as a parent for things to be perfect for my child, particularly my oldest, my daughter. Not so much in terms of her getting everything she wants, which she doesn't, or never experiencing disappointment, which she of course does and will...
Pause in the inputs
I've had a couple of days without many new inputs. I'm hoping this trend continues for the rest of the week because I'm starting to dig myself out of the hole. I won't be able to dig myself out of the hole, mind you, but I'm starting.

Lower Your Standards

Mediocratopia: 11
Mediocratopia: 11
Motivation, discipline, and energy are complex personality traits. While they are not immutable functions of nature or nurture, they do form fairly entrenched equilibria. Shifting these equilibria to superficially more socially desirable ones isnβt merely a matter of consuming enough hustle-porn fortune cookies or suddenly becoming a...
Ppl as reply to Your group
1. Wife and kids. Obvs.

The thing about angry people is
They make you feel bad
For maybe hours, or a day, or days
But you'll move on
They never will
They'll be angry forever
They'll resent you
They'll talk shit about you on the whispernet
It will live inside them
Clicking seconds off their clock
