There’s this meme making the rounds that says: “Being nice gets you disrespected and stressed out. Being a good person is different.” And, it stopped me mid-scroll. Because, well. Yes. And also… hmm. See, “nice” is one of those slippery words. Nice is smiling when you don’t want […]
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I didn’t really watch the Emmys this year. To be fair, I had it on. The screen was glowing, the speeches were droning, and I was half-scrolling, half-snacking, and fully not invested. But for once in a […]
There’s this old biblical phrase I stumbled on again: “never blew an uncertain trumpet.” Basically, it means someone always gave a clear call, never muddled or half-hearted. No room for confusion. Which got me thinking about how rare is that these days? Most of life seems to be […]
Wednesdays are strange, little beasts. They’re the mid-week meh. The sandwich filling between the optimism of Tuesday and the quiet desperation of Thursday.Monday gets the complaints.

Drop. Now, I […]
There’s a meme floating around that hit me right in the frontal lobe. You know the one. “The grass is greener on the other side because it’s fake.” Boom. Truth bomb in font size 16. Let’s talk about that seductive little patch of green across the metaphorical fence. […]
This morning, as I sipped my coffee and prepared to wrangle my inbox (and my spirit), I was reminded of a delicious little tweet from back in January 2022. Sam Altman, the AI guy with vision and caffeine-fueled ambition, had just introduced the world to ChatGPT. “Give it […]
You ever wake up on a Monday and just know in the pit of your stomach, the ache in your knees, the existential sigh before your first cup of coffee—that the week ahead is going to be long? Like…crawling-through-wet-cement long? That was me this week. Before I even […]
Let’s get one thing straight: a horse isn’t climbing a tree anytime soon. Not today, not tomorrow, not even if you bribe it with organic apples and serenade it with Taylor Swift’s latest album. A horse is built to gallop across fields, not swing from branches like a […]
