Right now I am glad to be single. There are so many people out there feeling lonely because it’s Valentine’s Day and they don’t have any significant others to celebrate with. Screw all that. I am glad to be free of this wanting, this needing to be with someone and all the [...]

Flying Solo
Next week I’ll be moving into my new one bedroom apartment. I can’t afford the rent with the money I currently make, but I have a money market account and a couple fist fulls of stocks thanks to a distant relative I’ve never met before who died last year.

Seeing People as Sources of Joy
For many of us, especially those who are shy or have suffered from social anxiety disorder (like me), other people are seen as potential sources of fear. We fear rejection, criticism, or judgment from our fellow humans. Or we are afraid we might inadvertently offend someone by doing or saying the wrong thing. [...]
The Ultimate Form of Love and Connection with God
I believe one of the ultimate forms of love and connection with God is knowing that you are loved unconditionally by another human being and being completely open to that love. This is because we are all segments of God and our purpose here on Earth is to learn how to see God in [...]
