DANDELIONS IN THE OUTFIELD
It’s that time again. Yep, my son Jeremiah’s first t-ball game. I know I should be more excited. I signed him up for t-ball hoping he could relate with other young boys his age. With the thought of the boyish like mannerisms would rub off on him. Seemingly he is rubbing off on a few of his teammates. I even have a close rapport with his Coach Danny Phelps. Somehow that only led to this shocking surprise, at least for me anyway.

Freedom Becomes You, Darling
I think I've spent a lot of my life making excuses, going out of my way to convince myself that I am not worthy or capable of becoming the person I want to be. I am too flawed, too imperfect, too tainted to know what belonging feels like. My story is messy. I'm a conglomeration of broken fragments, I've hurt others, and I'm terrified of everything.

Relearning Joy: How to Make Room for Fun When You've Spent Years in Survival Mode
Joy is one of the first things we lose when we’re living in survival mode. When your life has been shaped by trauma, chaos, stress, or constant emotional labor, joy can feel foreign or even unsafe. You get used to being vigilant. You get used to prioritizing everyone else. You get used to pushing, enduring, coping, and “getting through.”

When you lose everything, you find yourself
When You Lose Everything, You Find Yourself There is a moment — and if you have lived long enough, you have felt it — when the ground beneath your feet simply disappears. It might happen in a single phone call. It might happen slowly, over months, like water carving through stone. One day you look around and the life you built, the person you loved, the job you defined yourself by, the health you took for granted, the dream you sacrificed for — it is gone. And you are left standing in the ruin of what used to be, wondering how you are supposed to breathe through something this heavy.

The Outlier
The smallest victory I ever saw in a university happened on a Thursday. If that sounds like I am making a shrine of it after the fact, that is exactly the sort of dishonest inflation professors are good at when we want our own memories to come out looking wiser than they were.

Ideas and Inspiration
Introduction I write these pieces often in the hope that people may get ideas from them and feel free to ask for advice. I always try and vary my writing but recently I have written three poems in succession plus a playlist and a piece of fiction, one of those was an entry to the Vocal "Sensational" Challenge. That makes me feel a bit lazy even though one of the poems has taken a couple of months of thought before I finally got it down. Neil Diamond said he took eight weeks to nail down the phrase "I Am...I Said", but my imposter syndrome traits still make me feel I am not putting in enough effort and I am being lazy.
