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.

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.

66,000 tons of food are rotting away in USAID warehouses thanks to Trump and DOGE.
That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids.
In what world is starving children "efficient"?

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.
Oh and get the money out of politics

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.
Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.
Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?
Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.
Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.
Stop escaping it.

Football, according to our 3 year old son:
“You go ‘two, forty two, HIKE!’ And then you run so fast! And then you get a touchdown and you know what happens? You win and you get a surprise!”
Which is close enough to the mark, especially compared to what he thinks leprechauns are.
Add this to the grinding effects of climate change on the economy and you have a very toxic mix for economic well being.
