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.

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.

You made it, you own it

You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.

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.

BREAKING: Pete Buttigieg just laid out the best case yet for the future of the Democratic party. This is incredible.

Breaking: JD VANCE as Vice President VP to POTUS Trump; we have to trust 45's instincts here & I support! Judge Aileen Cannon dismisses (rightfully) the CLASSIFIED document case against Trump, MAGA!

Hearing talk that this was staged, good talk...set up...Trump was to die, not to survive...God helped...
