It’s so easy…
Spending money is so easy. Eating that decadent dessert is so easy. Sleeping later is so easy. Speaking negatively about yourself is so easy. Self discipline is not impossible. It does take work. Being a decent human takes continual attention. If you drop your guard even a little, you find yourself three steps back on […]

Love and Hate
I disagree that there is a fine line between love and hate. Rather than two monsters sitting on opposite sides of a line they can exist at the same time. You can love someone and hate them at the same time. This is not a good place to live. It’s a toxic thing. Don’t take […]

Animals
