How Am I Supposed to Create MORE Content?

Because I don’t know where I am going to find the time — I can’t figure out where am I supposed to find any more time in my schedule to create more content. I’m already stretched thin as it is. And what am I supposed to create? I haven’t the first clue what people want to see from me anymore! …

The Secret to Inspired Writing

Because sometimes it helps to have an edge — This story was written in November of 2018. One month after starting to publish on Medium. I’ve come a long way since then. I was writing something earlier today, and it occurred to me that after many years and a whole lot of work, I finally know how to write…

I Wish I Could Work a “Real” Job, But I Can’t

Many of us cannot — When people ask what I do for a living — a question I get all the time — I always reply with “I am a writer.” I rarely tell people I’ve received Social Security Disability for quite some time because my condition doesn’t allow me to work what some consider…

Stoic Philosophy Saved Me from Addiction

Drugs are a hell of a thing — When I was younger, I wasn’t strong or in control of myself and my impulses. I hadn’t figured out how short our lives were and how unpredictable the world can be. …

I Am Going to Die and It’s Okay

Are you going to truly live before you die? — Is it true that we spend our whole lives running away from death and getting upset when it’s even mentioned? When we are young, do we somehow convince ourselves that we are immortal? When we get older, we understand that death is inevitable. Throughout my life, I faced the possibility…

I Ruined Lives and Broke Hearts — I Hope I Can Make Up for the Mistakes of My Past

Gary Vee is a Product of Toxic Capitalism

He is a hero to many because society is sick — I give Gary Vee a lot of shit, and maybe he doesn’t deserve all the hate because he’s not wrong in a lot of things. I credit him for getting my mentally ill 49-year-old ass out of a rut and out there chasing dreams of being a creator. …

I’m a Huge Fan of the Philippines, But I Can’t Afford to Live Here Anymore

It’s a sad day when even paradise is too expensive for the average guy and girl — I moved to the Philippines 11 years ago and over these years I have done my best to convince my wife we need to stay here because it was so affordable to live here. But, like everywhere else, that has changed. Yes, the Philippines is a great place to live…

I Am Ruining the Life I Have Because I Want More

Longing for a life I don’t think I will ever get — If I could break my whole sad life down to one word that would allow me to show you the folly of not being grateful for what you have in life, that word would be longing. No matter where I was currently in my life, one thing was always the…

Authors! Don’t Be Afraid to Pay Someone to Build Your Website

There is always a reason why something is cheap — you get what you pay for — As a web designer and a writer, I get a lot of people asking me why they should pay $2000 to $5,000 for a web designer and developer to build an author website and blog when there are services like Wix and Squarespace that offer a complete website for $20…
