A DM to a friend, today: “I’m good. Just did Ayahuasca, cried for hours (long year, last year), and then Winter turned to Spring, and my sadness at losing Redford (and more, my fiancee and I broke up, I got injured, I lost a good friend, Elephant struggled though is…

She won’t ask for it, nor will she tell you how it’s done. But, deep inside her, where your heart is taking refuge, she hopes to be loved in a particular way. Before you love her, make sure you’ve loved yourself enough first — as the first thing she will notice in you is not the brand of clothes you are wearing, but…

Intractable. That’s a pretty scary word, actually. Intractable, meaning, in this case: not easily relieved or cured. When you have pain, the very last word you want to hear is “intractable.” It’s the medical method of saying that they don’t have a f*cking clue why they can’t help you, and they’re…

I’m not big on the idea of “anti-aging.” Seems a bit ridiculous to try and stop something that’s inevitable. We’re all going to age. We’re all going to get older. And, eventually, we’re all going to die. That’s it. That’s life. And, to me, it’s the ultimate privilege: the opportunity to grow old, to gain experiences, to collect…

I just got back from a walk. It’s beautiful and sunny. Cold. Crisp. Fall-like. As I was walking across a bridge, I paused to look out over the water. Then I closed my eyes and started to breathe.

I finally did it. Took me a long time — I cried maybe 7 times in the last few days, and maybe that helped me be ready to bring new love into my life. The first of those 7 cryings was in my first Ayahuasca ceremony, which is now legal…

We all want to live a happy life. The truth is we spend the better part of our lives chasing what’s better, bigger, more promising. And that’s beautiful. At the end of the day we’re all seeking the same thing, which makes us true heroes and winners. However, we don’t always know how to be happy. The problem…

Last night, I organized my bookshelf. I stumbled across The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran, and I felt like rereading a few pages. I randomly opened the book and stumbled upon the chapter “On Joy and Sorrow.” No matter how much I keep rereading this chapter, its significance and depth never cease. I had many epiphanies the…
