Mind-Mind

I’m not okay. I can’t concentrate. I’m doing my tasks, living my life, but you are constantly on my mind. It’s a bit disorienting. I don’t know what to make of it. I think I had conversations with you in…

Precisely

What’s the real cost of precision? We dwell on perfection for way too long and end up with a lot of inaction. We stress about making everything fit neatly inside the box. We try to predict the outcome of things…

Three Shots

I’m still trying to find the words to explain my life right now. This entry might be just as scrambled as my thoughts are at the moment. Last Friday we spoke to the kids. My heart broke into a million…
