When my needs go unmet,
I’m reminded: God didn’t design a person, place, or title to fulfill me.
He designed my soul to need Jesus.
So if you’re discouraged today by unmet needs,
Maybe you’re not being punished—maybe you’re being invited.
Invited to need the only One who never fails.
If that’s you—
You need to meet my Jesus.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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! 🙌

When I read McConnell's claim that "American pride was at its lowest point in 20 years", I was skeptical. So I googled it (https://news.gallup.com/poll/312644/national-pride-falls-record-low.aspx). Turns out he's right about the measure of American pride. Gallup's poll shows that pride in America was remarkably steady from 2000 through 2016 - hovering around 80-85% year after year. Until Trump took office. Then national pride fell 20 points in 3 years. I wonder why?
Although I love American history, I've never felt "proud" to be an American. I feel a degree of responsibility to learn history, and to have an ongoing conversation about America, but Trump becoming president felt humiliating, and any pride I may have had before then was burned away. I think a large segment of Americans have little patience for subtlety and discussion... you either love the country or you don't. McConnell recognizes this. He knows that a large segment of the Republican base is …
Though mostly true of almost all politicians, in McConnell's case we can always assume there is a calculation of advantage in everything he does. He no longer operates on any principle whatsoever, if he ever did. Like Gollum with the Ring, power is his only lodestar.
McConnell is a real sh!t, and someone who doesn't give a damn about the country. One interesting factoid about him: his three daughters are all estranged from him.
Never knew he had pro-created!!!!
It was probably a miracle. In any case, while in some cases, including my best friend and his ex-wife, give 'em a little time and they get along well. But Mitch's ex seems to realize she married a piece of slag (slag is much worse than sh!t because the latter is fertilizer and food for the dung beetles, whereas slag is poisonous).
Didnt even realize that the current wife is No. 2!
They married in '93. Mitch became wealthier from that marriage. From Wikipedia: "In April 2008, Chao's father gave Chao and McConnell between $5 million and $25 million,[97] which "boosted McConnell's personal worth from a minimum of $3 million in 2007 to more than $7 million"[98] and "helped the McConnells after their stock portfolio dipped in the wake of the financial crisis that year".[99]"
