Baby it’s cold outside
As someone who lives with depression I can say that I feel this divide between myself and others. I have good friends, ones I spend a lot of time with and real effort into being close to, but there is a void. Please sir, before you start down your God shaped hole theory, consider the…

Hard time(s)
I truly do love this life, even if some of the times have been pretty hard. Today is pretty hard. This pain is particularly hard because it is not really mine to own, I had to see a loved one off to prison today. It is a sympathetic pain for them, they are facing the…

Hope dies last
I have a few cooky ideas about how I should live my life, about what it means to follow the Spirit which is my ultimate goal. One of those ideas is that the correct course will have markers, the incorrect course will try to correct you. I will use the Appalachian trail as an example.…

Peace
