We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

One thing I love about spring — how wild it is.
Dead things bursting back to life.
Everything is a little disheveled, shaking off the dull winter brown.
It’s bold and assertive in a way that the pastel color palette doesn’t let on.
My hedges look spindly. Trees stretch skyward as limbs unfurl new leaves. Dandelions assert their dominance over greening lawns.
Spring is pretty metal honestly 🤘

The Loneliness No One Talks About
No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.
The silence when old friendships stop fitting, but new ones haven’t formed.
The ache of outgrowing places, conversations, even versions of yourself.
Growth is beautiful, but it can also be isolating.
Keep growing anyway. You’ll find your kindred spirits.
What you consume, you become:
• The books you read.
• The content you watch.
• The people you spend time with.
• The thoughts you feed your mind.
Choose wisely.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.
no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.
like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.
One year ago, could anyone have thought that Kash Patel would be FBI Director and Dan Bongino would be his Deputy Director?
Interim Director
Like someone said, ATF should be a convenience store, not a government agency. Hopefully it was given to him to absorb then dissolve it, much like Department of Education is (hopefully) going to be dismantled.
Another day, another poem.
Let's get intimate…
Maybe with a hug hello
or a kiss good-bye…
Maybe tell me how you feel
and drift over to my side
A post about my wife using my body to fantasize about having sex with someone else… with a notable difference in anatomy
I’ll just keep on writing…
Another day
Another pill
But I’m still not chill
A little numb
A little dumb
