Personal Post: Following Faith
If you’ve been watching the videos I’ve been making to create an alternative version of my blog posts, you’ve likely noticed that I’ve been using video backgrounds that are typically beautiful sceneries that include water in one way or another. There is a very intentional reason for this particular theme, and it isn’t just because […]

The Crime of Conformity
I’ve spent most of my life inside of systems. While most people do end up interacting with the systems of our society to one degree or another, I am an example of someone who has been shaped from the ground up not by critical thought, but by the repetitious impaction of specific ideologies. From nearly […]

Honesty is the Best Policy
We live in an alien world these days. The one I grew up in was far different from the one we’re experiencing today. As a child, I was raised with certain ideas that were universally accepted by American society as an ideology we should all be striving for. The United States has been the beacon […]

If You Can’t Bend You Risk Breaking
Click here to check out more videos from the channel! Our modern world is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the services and technology that we have access to have given us an unprecedented quality of life that just a century ago was out of reach for even the wealthiest of people.

Relationships Are Only As Difficult As We Make Them
I don’t declare myself to be an expert on relationships, as there have only been two people in my life who became serious love interests for me. One was a marriage that lasted nearly a decade; the other an engagement that lasted three years. When it comes to telling people what they should do when […]

You Get What You Pay For
They say the best things in life are free. It would be nice if that were true, and perhaps if you’re talking about money, it has a ring of truth to it. However, it is the unfortunate truth that anything worth having has a cost associated with it, something we have to give up in […]

Life is More Like Burger King Than Denny’s
A few times during the course of my life I’ve heard the phrase “you don’t fill my cup”. This rather innocuous phrase is an indirect pointer to the way our society has evolved over the last century as we become more and more consumer centric. One of the most dangerous mindsets in the world is […]
