Gathering thoughts…
What’s the point?
To struggle the unknown
To suffer uncertainty
What’s the point?

Today was tough. But here I am, staying true to the promise I made to myself – to write and publish something new at least five times a week. Problem is I don't have anything to write about. The goal was to read, learn, and write about the difference between Aetiology vs Teleology. But anxiety had different plans. It's important to be careful of our thoughts as they can become…
The harder you try, the farther it goes. I've noticed every time I try to coddle or pet my cat, she runs away. The more I try, the farther she runs. She's a cat. I know.
