The Arrow of Potential
Friday, October 10, 2025, 9:17:50 PM | Dialogue I don’t know if people read my posts and wonder, “Where the hell is this coming from?” I can see it happening though. I’ve written before about typing my fingers to death trying to keep up with my thoughts. The thing that gets me started most of…

Does it ever get better?
I am well acquainted with the depths of despair; that place where words hurt in every way and never more than when they give the faintest glimmer of the only thing that could possibly be worse than despair: Hope.

The Paradox of Death
There is more to this, to existing, than meets the eye. It is its own prerequisite and it hurts think about why or how. The only thing that hurts more is trying to make sense not existing. But, given our circumstances, we can’t really afford to take it for granted. By a certain age, we know that…

The Best Way to Fit In? Don’t Stand Out
Grouping is an activity that comes instinctively and automatically to people. It is part of a filtering process that allows us to make sense of our universe. Anything can serve as criteria for grouping, but because this is a perceptual-interpretive process; differences and similarities in physical characteristics are the most prevalent. As we learn and…
