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.

Yes, yes and YES! Be Patient!!

There has been soooo much clamoring on social media about the frickin’ Epstein Files it makes me want to roar!!

You have laid out here, (and in many of your articles), the vast and beyond egregious illegalities that have crushed the very life out of this country over the past 12 years alone! To build a case against any one of those, and not just case, an ironclad one, takes enormous care, attention and effort.

I’m sure the Epstein case was used by our Intel community…

Then Pam Bondi should be fired for fueling this public fire with false hopes. Our patience is at an end. We want justice now. Justice delayed is justice denied.

I can get over how juvenile- and ignorant an attitude that is. She hasn’t even been in there for 60 days, and because the evildoers who are STILL lurking in the corners of the most corrupt of corrupt domains she and Patel have entered, managed to sabotage her effort to expose the Epstein files, and you want to fire her. Extraordinary!

You are either a plant by the Left attempting to sow discord and division, or you’re just plain stupid. You may be both.

If Bondi is a bust time will tell, and soon…

She now says if and when we get the report, it will be redacted for "national security". She's complicit now, maybe she always was. Maybe that's why she was hired.

You're a dupe, Snoozy.

So smart guy they should just release the data with the victims' names and pictures all over it right...dumbass.

Just huge data dump with everything in place so the victims get to relive the experience, and the victimizers have time to escape to a country with no extradition process.

My God you really are a special kind of stupid.

A country like Israel?
