False positivity stresses me out. It feels like I’m holding a massive weight over my head, tiring out second by second. But if I reach for the feeling of true relief—if I go from terribly negative to a little less negative, a little less negative into apathetic, and so on and so forth—my positivity isn’t…

“Better and worse” seem like rabbit holes at best, tormentors at worst. After years of rigid discipline and demanding expectations, I have finally decided to chill out and relax. Now I like to reach in the direction of general improvement and follow spontaneous inspiration. This allows me to keep moving towards general positivity, and delight…

There are some folks, amazingly enough, who say cancer is the best thing that ever happened to them. I believe that as incredible as it may seem, it’s possible to view any adverse event in the same light, and also vice versa: to be completely dissatisfied, no matter how great the fortune or luck. Get…

The “secret to life?” After investigating any number of religious/scientific/philosophical/mystical viewpoints, I realized that at a certain point, they all get obstructively specific about the nature of existence. When they get TOO specific and TOO demanding about “how things should be,” or “the way it is,” then arguments and dissatisfaction come into being. The “secret…

Where I let go of all concern and give in to the relief I will someday die, and grasp that whatever I’m going through is fleeting and transient. If I can embrace the “fuck it” mentality and focus my whole…

It appears my perspective is dependent on training. Oddly enough, my perspective doesn’t seem to require any willpower, just a willingness to relax and consciously focus. Throughout my life, I’ve been taught that any skill is a result of effort and sacrifice, but this doesn’t seem to be the case with my perspective. It is…

Much has been made of being “fluid” or “solid,” but it is really about what is most beneficial in a given time frame. Know the time frame, know the parameters, and action will clarify.

I can think of my body as a meager container, designed to harry me with infinite obstacles. Or I can see it as a boundless channel. An untapped well of potential and play.

I try and accept what’s happening in the moment—do the best I can with what’s in front of me. Because if (as the core of every religion seems to hint) there is an unconditional benevolence that limited itself so it could experience adventure, then that omnipotent piece of me created this very instance. And if…
