For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
The Kindness of Others
I spent years being too afraid to ask for help. I would worry about the judgement, worry about people talking behind my backs and making up stories about me. I was afraid of being seen as a liar and so many other things. In the past, at my lowest of lows, I didn’t ask for the help I needed and just let myself suffer, even at the hands of people who helped me before.

It’s not the “Big Stall” it’s the Disabled Stall
I have mixed mobility. Depending on the day, I may be able to walk more. However, if I walk too much or push myself too hard, I may be paying for it for days or weeks. This is why I prefer to use mobility aides to help me when I’m out and about in the world. When using the bathroom, I have my wife assist me so I don't fall and with any other needs I may have. It's usually a pretty solid system for us...until it comes to other human beings.

THE SEQUAL: How the Paralympics reveal the best of us
Do you remember Teen Beat magazine? Xennials, I’m looking at you. My adolescent heartthrobs and idols postered on my wall included Alyssa Milano, Johnny Depp, River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, and the New Kids on the Block.

Inspiration Humor is great at posting memes and making good people laugh.
I wish my permed hair could take this color lavender after good bleaching too bad my hair color is dark auburn I am not to permit me to bleach my hair, after a perm I would lose not only happiness from my perm relaxing completely I would strip my hair horribly of it's needed goodness. I love my new rue in my due I am very grateful for what the good Lord gave me. I love the way Lightning Bolt mastered his stories and created something out of nothing. I know the poor feeling too well writer's block sucks then when the creativity feels like it just is not there it makes me ache like a mother fucker, pardon my french. No offense I am a realist and I love to speak my mind and let it flow for what it is. Some people think it is a sin to be outspoken. At times things are better left unsaid but when shit needs to be addressed to keep shit from hitting the fan it is what is. I hope I inspire and make Lightning Bolt feel blessed. I am disgusted about the fact that I am so unable to tip my favorite or fond authors.

Between the gain and loss
Life, the most troubled us, nothing more than gain and loss of these two words. These two words are also the root of all disputes, troubles and confusion. As the saying goes, "between gain and loss, there must be cause and effect." As long as we understand the reasons for gain and loss, we will naturally know the way to choose and lose, and then, all problems are solved.

where ignorance is bliss , ti 's folly to be wise
It's hard to be confused in life. Maybe today is a game and tomorrow is a dream. Standing at the bridge of the ferry, the travelers, the stories of coming and going, the people who care about, and the people who are distracted are still a few. Some are always wiping their shoulders in a moment, some are always passing through the clouds, and what they grasp in the palm of their hand is the tail of running water.
