Addiction

Addiction and complacency may as well be one and the same. Addition doesn’t have to be an addiction to destroy your life. Or perhaps the definition of addiction is too nebulous for most of us to understand. You’re not addicted, you say? You can simply become complacent with a status quo, or rationalize your mediocrity.

The Black Box

The last few months have felt like I’ve been thrown into the world I only figured out in my head. Like some greater power said, alright, you got it a long time ago – I’m done waiting, get your ass over there. The last ten years … feel like an extended intellectual vomit – a

My thinking mind felt like it needed “answers” before it could have confidence. I’ve been here before. The ironic thing about confidence is that we already
