Getting Comfortable in My Own Skin
I love the sound of my mechanical keyboard as I type these words. The clicks make me wish that my imagination can fly as fast as the words they want to regurgitate. When was the last time I actually enjoyed writing? The last time I sat down to taste old and new words on my tongue and painstakingly pick out which ones belong to this day's page and ( Read more... ) -
a thought to explore
There are passions in this world
that restrict us.
In their is-ness,
they startlingly set us free.

There are passions in this world
that require our freedom.
And in so doing,

Missing the old Gaby
"He could have been well content to pass his life as a shepherd, like his father, but for two things: he knew it would be well for others to know; and he had the hunger after the society of books.

The 2013 Checklist
I was reviewing my 2008 checklist nd I was just amazed at how much my goals have changed since then. I know it's also because I have changed a lot. I guess this is why I love this journal. It helps me look back to who I was and how time and faith have transformed me for the better. Still, there are some things I do intend to keep on that list. ( Read more... ) -
Struggling against mediocrity
As a copywriter, I feel that people expect me to be mediocre. No matter what the boss says about producing high-quality articles, I know that all that matters is that my writing is grammatically acceptable, I don’t make factual mistakes, and that I place the company’s website link in that article. It has to be acceptable, not excellent. I feel ( Read more... )
