We were meant to create not to consume. That's why we are sad when we do nothing.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

why can’t life always feel like children’s book illustrations?

Have you ever wanted to have sex like a Republican?

Here’s Congressman Max Miller’s “Baby Making Music” play list from his public Spotify account.

The Bay Village Republican prefers to dulcet tons of Miguel, Usher and Jeremih when making sweet love.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

i love it when a woman slowly steps out of survival mode and starts to fall in love with life again. when her zest for life comes back and when she starts to notice all the magic and blessings around her, it’s the most beautiful thing to witness.

They've built them, now where are the tenants for 33 Innovation Park "spec" buildings? How many in our community are struggling to get ahead financially? And a sentence upheld for a violent offender.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.

Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.

You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.

In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.

If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

Uncommon advice:

If you don't know what to pursue in life right now.

Pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.

Then the right path will reveal itself.

It's amazing that you came up with this today, as just last night, I was thinking how wonderful it would be if you would do an NSFW video of great poses by as many performers as you could that died either of AIDS or suicide, both of which have disproportionately impacted the industry. I know it would take time to find the right photos and compile them, but what an impact the video could have. I would guess it would become your highest viewed video so far. Just my thought and recommendation.

Thanks, David. I'm in the final stretch of a SFW video of men from all walks of life. I don't know how many I could find NSFW photos...or if I'm emotionally up for that tribute video yet. Maybe next year. Cheers to you.
