Last night, I met her friends. Erin wasn’t even there—out of town, trusting I’d find my way. At first, it felt like walking into a room where everyone already knew the choreography. I stood at the edge of the circle, unsure if I should dance or disappear. It’s funny how old patterns echo—how quickly the […]
Strategizing the Spiral
The rhythm is changing. Not because I lost faith—but because I found direction. Until now, these posts were daily echoes. Drops in a vast sea of potential. But lately, something landed. Not a coin—but a compass. I’m strategizing now. Not chasing, not escaping. Just… aligning. There’s a team forming. A vision crystallizing. And maybe even […]
The Kindest Memory You Can Keep
She snapped at me yesterday. Not cruelly. Not unfairly. Just… sharply. A flash of frustration. A tone that cut quicker than intended. And for a moment, I felt it rise in me— That old instinct to match energy with energy. To defend. To correct. To sharpen back. But I didn’t. Not because I’m enlightened. Not […]
Remembering Is the Vow
Today I remembered something I used to forget on purpose: How much I learn when I spiral down. It doesn’t feel like progress. It feels like fog. Like shame. Like rereading a paragraph I swore I already understood. But this time, something shifted— Because instead of resisting the spiral, I started tracing its shape. And […]

Love Without a Grip
She’s chasing something right now. A sound. A dream. A rhythm only she can hear. And I love that about her. Her fire. Her focus. Her character. There’s something in her that says, “I’ll make it”—and I believe her. Not just because she’s talented—because she’s built for the climb. She feels things deeply, yes. But […]
First Thought ≠ Final Truth
This morning, I caught myself thinking like someone I no longer want to be. Not in a dramatic way. Not destructive. Just… familiar. The kind of thought that slips in quietly, wearing the costume of logic but carrying the scent of old programming. I had just uncovered something beautiful— An insight about emotional intelligence and […]
When EQ Became the Real Sex Appeal
It took longer than I thought. That “tomorrow” I kept promising? It didn’t come the next day. Or the next. It came after a hangover. After a silence. After watching Erin move through the morning while I tried to remember why I drank in the first place. And the truth? I didn’t drink because I […]
