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.
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.
My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

AMAZING! A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director.
What a legend.

i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.

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

On the drive to school this morning…
Papa: “Did I explain WHY dad is taking his big work trip today?”
Penelope: “No.”
Papa: “We’ll, it’s about his book. You know, the book he wrote that we’ve been reading at bedtime, Papa’s Coming Home?”
Twins: “Yeah?”
Papa: “We’ll, he’s traveling so he can go share the book with lots of people. He’s going to different cities all over the country to share the book! It’s called a book tour.”
Gus, worried: “But… but… will he bring it back?”

What are your thoughts?
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 might get slightly bashed for this one—but just my personal intake;
Can we please stop giving the “universe” credit for what GOD is doing?
It’s not the stars aligning — it’s the Savior making a way.
Doors don’t just open on their own. That’s GOD.
Let’s start calling it what it is and giving honor where it’s due.

Does someone who enters the United States without clearing customs and receiving permission to enter, does such a person commit a crime? Should people who commit crimes have consequences? If the crime involves entering a sovereign country without permission, wouldn't the logical consequence be to be removed from that country? Whether enforcing laws is difficult or not, shouldn't we all agree about what constitutes a crime and what doesn't? Shouldn't we seek to enforce laws that are "on the books?"
What kind of thinking makes it more complicated than this?
