I am that brother and I don’t want to be that brother. I don’t want to hurt my siblings anymore. I really am doing my utmost best to reflect and learn from my mistakes. I don’t want to put them down. I don’t want to talk behind their back. I want to support them. I … Continue reading Toxic Brother
Skill Envy
I read a short story some time ago. It was written by an ‘amateur.’ Is that person really though? I don’t know. But, that person was incredibly good at making stories. The sceneries were so vivid. The dialogues were crisp. I could only hope to do the same. Well, I’ll reach that point someday. I … Continue reading Skill Envy
Boredom.
It is said that boredom should be embraced. I think that is true. But, I know that during boredom we tend to gravitate to things that are stimulating. ‘Oh, I should do this because it is fun.’ Not, ‘Oh, I should do this because I needed to do this.’

I’ll write my own story. Oh man, this story is too shitty and boring! I guess I’m not cut out to … Continue reading Starting something you’re not good at sucks.
I don’t get immortality.

They say life rocks and they want to spend more time with it. They say they want to experience everything … Continue reading I don’t get immortality.
Self-doubts
Have you ever doubted your process? Thinking that it wouldn’t be worth it? Well, I have and it sucks. It’s that taunting voice that paralyzes you from doing something with its one-two punch of making you down then making you feel guilty for not doing something. It’s a harsh combo and it’s very effective.
We always wanted to be good
To be good at something. Doing something so easily and so professionally. That’s the dream. Doing something hard so effortlessly is intoxicating. But being so good to do that, takes a lot of time being bad. It sucks.
These are funny times.
I'm trying so desperately to write something everyday. It only needs to be one sentence. It doesn't have to make sense. The important thing here is to create something.
