Overcoming Digital Addiction: A Slow Journey to Consistency
For the past four years, I’ve been making blog posts. Over that time, I’ve managed to tally up only 75 actual posts to this page. More than 1000 days, and I’ve made 75 posts.

On Living (And Dying) Well
What principles define how you live? Life is not so simple as we would like it to be. Simply living is not a complex process. Food, water shelter, and heat are the only true necessities in life. Spartan living is both achievable, and a worthy goal. But life itself is complex. You can choose toContinue reading “On Living (And Dying) Well”
On Self-Help
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? Meditate. Breathe. Relax. Be passive. Find inner peace. Read. Simply don’t worry. All of these are things that we are told when life is not going right. When the weight of the world is crushing you. When you’re tired of life. But I thinkContinue reading “On Self-Help”
Begin Again.
What would you do if you lost all your possessions? When all is lost, and you have nothing left, you are at a very hard place in life. But you are also completely free. No house, no need to clean.
