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.

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.

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.

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.

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care.
Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care.
I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

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! 🙌

These issues raise fundamental questions about the division of powers among our three branches of government and, clearly, it’s long past due for the Supreme Court to reestablish where those divisions lie.
On the one hand, we CFN-types understandably wish for Mr. Trump to ride roughshod over all of the agencies and institutions that have brought this nation to its present existential crisis. On the other, those who wish for an Imperial Presidency with unlimited powers of disruption would do well…
Congress was intended to make the laws, including, the details of such laws. However, Congress has pissed away much of its authority, sending it to the bureaucracies of the Executive Branch. Today Congress passes vague laws and then pass the responsibility on to the Bureaucrats to enforce. Here's an example. Let's say Congress wants to pass a law to require bakeries to make tasty chocolate bagels. They bicker and argue and come up with a vague law that says every bakery shall now produce tasty …
Ever since I read "We who are about to die, salute you" as a teenager, I've been studying the steady decline of Rome and how our failing Republic is tracking it.
I am also quite aware that the situation is distinct, from top to bottom, but even so the parallels are eerie,
Your comment about an "Emperor" inspired this reaction.
Trump = Nero
