The Case For Burying A Head in Sand

They are winning. The floodgates were opened and were systematically dismantled, piece by piece, with haste, in the cold light of day, for all to see. “Here we are, taking it all apart” Some wore hats and cheered. Others wore a scowl and held up posters. Most watched Netflix and […]

The Loneliness of Travel, The Self-Doubt of a Creative, and the Life We Are Living and Missing

Nobody would’ve had him in their hideous death pool for he was brazen and bold, unabashedly unorthodox, and achieved fame on his own terms. He was punk rock. He had overcome his demons, earning streetcred by dashing through the mist left by the ghosts of poor choices. He was in […]

One Life But We’re Not The Same

There’s been a one hour driving distance bubble encircling my immediately family for our entire lives. At the end of July, my oldest brother (the one recoiling with iPhone in hand in the photo above) will move 10 hours south. I could choose to be sad he’s fleeing the area. […]

What Was Once Here and What Still Is
