Fate (and its supporting quotes) has always caused me significant turmoil and many a sleepless night. Why is it that “Everything happens for a reason”, even though I can’t see a reason other than for me to suffer? How is it that “Whatever happened happened because it was supposed to” when I am still hurting […]

The one thing I have struggled with the most of any of my faulty behaviors is that of being a “people pleaser”. By this, I mean that in any situation where someone disagrees with me, I immediately fold my opinions, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and desires into a neat little package and throw them away because […]

I am feeling upset and disgusted and discouraged and hopeless. I am tired of emotional vampires. I am tired of baseless accusations. I am tired of being judged on every single action I take. I am tired of being judged on every single action I don’t take. Someone once told me, “We are not judged […]

Closed Minded – having a mind firmly unreceptive to new ideas or arguments. All of us have closed minds in some regard or another; this is a condition of humanity and a normal survival mechanism. There is something that we each believe and have faith in that cannot be shaken or disturbed, no matter how […]

All right, folks, I wasn’t going to write anything about this “race” stuff anytime soon, but there have been several conversations in the past couple of weeks that have struck a chord with me. I’ve had to explain my position thoroughly and clearly multiple times. I had decided it was just a coincidence and there […]

I am thinking about the term “Narcissist” and how it applies to me. Apparently, I am a “Narcissist”. Or, so I’ve been told by persons who (I believe) are using the term as a way to categorize my need for independence, dissatisfaction with just “settling”, and drive to do more and be more in my […]

The thing that is bothering me today is the sexualization of females. It is disheartening, disturbing, and disgusting to me. I look at female musicians and a large majority of them choose to post images of themselves scantily-clad, in provocative and suggestive poses, with “come hither” looks on their faces. It’s so frustrating. I understand […]

It seems like lately everywhere I look, there are blatant and ludicrous examples of U.S. politicians and citizens trying to control other people by any means necessary, usually criticism. Politically motivated slander is common in newscasts, commercials, music, movies, books, social media sites, on billboards, even on the bumpers of personal vehicles. Uninformed and unsolicited […]

On my mind this morning: religious prejudice. Yesterday I got into a debate with a set of ultra-religious folks about gender identity. The debate started out with a question about thoughts on a child who identifies as the opposite gender from a very young age and then wants gender reassignment surgery around the time of […]

I can’t tell if I am confident or not. I looked up “confidence” in the dictionary to see if it would help me to discern my feelings. Confidence is belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities, assurance of and full trust in oneself. Okay, so I’m going to go over this to find out whether […]
