Appearances…
A true story about wet hair, teasing comments, and the quiet courage of not performing for approval. Sometimes, being yourself is the most radical belonging of all.
“Chosen”
At a sunny county fair, a stage hypnotist plays a familiar trick: make people gossip, then adore. But what looks like comedy masks something deeper — a pattern of emotional suggestion designed to make people feel chosen. This reflection unpacks the psychology of that pull, and how it plays out in cults, churches, relationships, and everyday interactions. If you've ever confused being seen with being selected, this one's for you.
Beauty in Authenticity
She didn’t try to be beautiful — she simply was. A love story told in his voice, where freedom and authenticity became more radiant than any adornment.
Windigo
The Windigo doesn’t just eat bodies. It eats tomorrows. Once, buffalo thundered across the plains — sixty million strong, sustaining life in every form. In less than a decade, they were nearly gone, replaced by dependence and loss. The Wendigo spirit lives on in systems that sever relationships to land, ancestors, and future generations.
What’s It Like Outside?
What happens when we use the same language but carry different contexts? One person asks about “outside” and hears sky, air, and beauty. The other means boxes, pallets, and work piling up. Both real, both valid, and yet, completely parallel.
The Aggressive Bill
What if that cold, confusing platform wasn't trying to punish you but protect something it once lost? I never used to think of businesses as carrying wounds. But then I stood in my kitchen, staring at the screen of an aggressive billing platform. Its language was cold, pushy, robotic. Something clicked. It felt like watching the nervous system of an entire organization laid bare. Not a glitch. A protector.

No Turn on Red (But Plenty of Projection)
He wasn’t angry at me. He was angry at the version of me he invented at a red light. A reflection on projection, perception, and staying grounded in who you really are.
A Thousand Stories
Some people collect stories like treasure. Others just need a quiet hallway
and a willing hostage.
Dali
What if you could ask the Dalai Lama anything — not about world peace or enlightenment, but about broccoli, bath time, or the color violet?
This playful reflection explores the beauty of curiosity for its own sake — and what happens when universes meet in laughter instead of seriousness.
