What fears have you overcome and how? I have a relevant post I’ve written on facing your fears before I begin here, so check it out if you please! I used to be completely controlled by fear.

Gratefulness
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. I am very grateful, at least that’s the way I try to be.

Battling the Brain Rot
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? When I find myself just sort of mindlessly scrolling and not absorbing anything, or compulsively checking apps I just checked, it’s time to put the phone down. I like to play one of my instruments to come backContinue reading “Battling the Brain Rot”
Friends vs. Yes Men
What quality do you value most in a friend? I value sincerity and integrity in a friend. I want friends who are willing to tell me if I’m wrong.

The Greatest Job of My Life
What jobs have you had? I’ve never had any jobs worth talking about in the sense of making money. Only minimum wage or slightly above minimum wage gigs that made me feel like a soulless worker drone and lasted mere months.

A Simpler Time
Do you remember life before the internet? I was born the year the internet became available to the public, but during the first 7 or 8 years of my life, I didn’t know what it was or that it even existed. Even after I learned about it in school, most people I knew didn’t haveContinue reading “A Simpler Time”
Balancing Humility and Pride
What are you good at? This is a hard question for me to answer, to be honest. Not because I don’t think I’m good at anything, but because it requires me to be vulnerable. Which, I’ve come to realize, is that shadowy abyss I must venture into in order to become the best version ofContinue reading “Balancing Humility and Pride”
The Land of Should: A Common Trap on the Journey to Happiness
I’ve spent my life observing. Observing myself, observing other people. All very interesting to me. Something I’ve observed is the tendency many of us have to become trapped in a place I call “The Land of Should.” “The Land of Should” is a fantastical place. It entices us with promises of happiness and abundance, ifContinue reading “The Land of Should: A Common Trap on the Journey to Happiness”
