Centuries of seekers asking, “who am I?”
As if that can be defined.
Looking all around asking “who can I be?”
As if that can be confined.
Life ascends, then quickly descends.
Nothing that fills the gap within.
An unfolding story that inevitably ends.
Causing yet another seeking to begin.
Till I hold still. Drop the sham.
I accept. I am that I am.

40 and Flat-Broke: Late to the Investing Game, But Not Out of It
So, your friends have sung the obligatory ‘Happy Birthday’ dirge masquerading as a celebration song on your 40th birthday. You blow out the candles, watching the flames extinguish with a sinking feeling of light leaving your life. You have nothing saved, no investments, and maybe a vague memory of opening a 401(k) once, only to close it and buy a recreational vehicle (or RV, for those who can't be bothered to say full words). Bravo. But here’s the weird thing: you're not actually doomed—just... statistically disadvantaged. Let’s unpack that.

Should We Not Try to Get Too Political?
Here's something you often hear people say, "I try not to get too political." I understand the sentiment and I sympathize with it... while at the same exact time, I completely disagree with the notion. Whether it's referring to social media or wherever, it's kind of unavoidable. You can attempt to sidestep it, not engage, leave the less important things for actual politicians to discuss... you can want it to not take over your life, your conversations, your relationships, and that makes perfect sense.
