How would you live if you weren’t afraid?
Last night I had difficulty sleeping again. The typical me would have entered into a panicked mode trying to figure out why. But I just let it be. I’m not sure why and I’ll get insight when I do. Of course I would like to sleep to feel well the next day. But I no […]

Grudges with the Universe
In this blog I write about my progress in my spiritual, psychological, and philosophical journey. I want to talk about having gripes with the universe today. I suffer greatly sometimes because of my judgement. I judge people harshly for their insensitivity, hedonism, ignorance, and meanness. I condemn the universe for plotting against me. When I […]
