  • Hello Again

    As you may have figured, it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog. Well, the truth is, I was abducted by aliens, a mind wipe was done, and I forgot I even had a blog. This is either an exaggeration or a metaphor. Aliens could be professors because they are out of this world,… Read more

  • All of this was written by ChatGPT with more and more instructions to make it more clear and more humorous. “Caffeine, Cats, and the Occasional Crisis” There’s exactly one water bottle on the table today, and that feels like personal growth. Next to it sits my trusty planner — open, ambitious, and largely ignored —… Read more

  • What is Truth?

    In the book of John, Pontius Pilate had to determine if Jesus was guilty or not. So this is the conversation that occured… So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king.” For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify… Read more

  • This Is Your Time

    VERSION 2 of “Don’t Let The Sun Set“ I withdrew from California State University, Northridge for loving reasons.

  • Happy Birthday Milton

    Today is Milton’s birthday. Milton is talented and smart. We talked and laughed constantly. It’s been 10 days since I’ve communicated with Milton. I don’t know if I can miss him because of my fear, not of him, but of something else. I can’t even wish Milton a happy birthday. I want to very much.… Read more

  • An argument can be a lot like a sentence with a soft and sweet, “I am,” being the equivalent of “Please apologize for borrowing my shoes without my permission.” The shoe-borrower apologizes and the friendship goes on as normal, but a chip of trust still needs to be rebuilt, but that’s normal. Then, you have… Read more

  • by Miriam Kavanagh When something unexpedtedly ends for an unknown reason that will never become known, it’s strange. You know that you are the one experiencing it, but you just feel like you’re walking next to the one who it’s happening to–that way you don’t have to admit that it’s happening to you. Everything is… Read more

  • Speech Can Trip You Up

    by Miriam Kavanagh I recently hurt someone I love very much. I had great conversations with him and then I put my foot in it. These were his reactions… Both understandable reactions, both totally surprising reactions coming from such a peaceful person. At first I thought it was a joke and I tried calling him… Read more
