All In Perfect Timing
Sometimes we have the tendency to try to take control over everything in our lives. We desire for things to go as planned, things to be presented to us on time, and for everything to work out a certain way. And when things don’t unfold exactly the way we were hoping them to, we can get pretty bent out of shape. And how often do things actually go the way that we plan? In most cases, not very often.

When I Became a Man
When I decided to write this book, I did it for therapeutic reasons. My therapist (at that time) suggested that I write a journal about my day to day activity. At first, I resisted. I didn’t see how important it was to do it.

A Letter to My Future Self
I know you feel like you need to be doing a million different things and want to accomplish so many things, but quit putting a time limit on your work. You’re a perfectionist, and so focused on the details that you’re going to burn yourself out if you keep trying to reach the deadlines that YOU put there. Let it happen when the universe says so. You’re putting yourself through the same thing twice, because you stress yourself out over something that has yet to happen. So relax and keep grinding.

Self Love Is All Love
December 2018, I had a profound realization that I do love myself. Maybe it was the psychedelic mushrooms coursing through my blood stream, or maybe that feeling I waited my whole life for was true in that moment. I thought to myself, as the tears slid down my cheeks and the vibrations of feeling fully radiated off of my skull, is this what it feels like to love myself?
