To the introverts, the loners, and the anti-social…you are my people.
And I know you won’t acknowledge that you read this because you’re afraid I might reply to you and start an interaction.
I see you.
I feel you.
Welcome…

Beware the sweet treats of the peanut gallery. Just because they pump you up doesn’t mean they’ll be there to hold you down when things go sideways.

There comes a point in life where you realize that people don’t need to understand you; they just need to accept you.
And once you get there, you’ll finally be surrounded by people who love you for who you are and not who they want you to be.

Don’t take it to heart if your masterpiece is someone else’s mundane.
What’s bad to one person is another person’s definition of excellence. We all have different tastes and reasons for what we like or don’t like.
Keep doing you.

I used the word “cockamamie” as I was talking today.
And I wasn’t joking.
RIP, my beloved youth. We had a good run...sigh…

I promise “sometimes” so you’ll appreciate “always.”
I offer “for now” so you’ll accept “forever.”
I give my friendship so you’ll understand my love.

My advice? Never post something you aren't willing to scream in a packed dive bar you've never been to before.

It's true. Writing novels is just this easy.
There’s a delicate balance between being your own hype man…and believing your own hype.
Stay positive, stay proud, but also remember to stay humble.
Growth always has room at the table, even in the company of greatness.

We must grow resilient, like a dandelion
We must ask ourselves
What is worth fighting for
and, also
What is worth living for?
May this so-called #IndependenceDay be a new dawn
an awakening
May we Remember and hold our Light
Long live the dandelions and the wild roses
#bloomscrolling #collapse

If you can’t write in your office, go to the bedroom.
If you can’t write on a computer, use a notebook.
If you can’t write on a table, that’s what laps are for.
It doesn’t have to be where you think it should be.
Go where you flow.
