People told me, and they still do, that life is like a game of chess. I never saw it that way. That may be why I never had the patience to learn the game of chess. Chess is purely intellectual and cold. I can see the board at all times. Every piece has a designated…

God is never going to meet you where you are. You have to go meet God where He is, and that is because He is God, and you are not. Hi’s universe, Hi’s rules. Jeremiah 29:13:  “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” An excellent way to show…

Being single sucks. If you tell me that you are living your best life as a single person, I must tell you that I don’t believe you. I’m not saying that you are lying. I am saying that you never experienced love. I was married for five years, and I am now divorced and single…

Let life touch you; don’t let it kill you, but let it touch you. This beautiful quote by Jim Roh carries so much weight and wisdom. How many times have you tried to drown the pain and existential suffering that you carry just to find out that it floats? It fucking floats. Turn around and…

It’s a paradox of our modern world- never before have people been so comfortable yet so burdened by their egos, leading to a unique form of suffering.
