Sometimes…ego shows up as madness, disguised as constriction. The squeeze, the breathlessness…the attempts to quiet you. Ever so elegantly and politely. That is far more dangerous than any out of control fire. By the time you realize it’s happening… It could be too late. I speak of my own self detriment. My own need to…

Infiltration
And out of no where, the scavengers arrived. Picking, eating, destroying. Yet, no one had perished. You forget about someone else’s nature when you work on yourself. I don’t consider the bad people will do until they do it. I’m no stranger to piggy back riders and people who hijack ladder climbing. Someone keeps selling…
The Darker Side of Success
You’re one click away from sending that email – or not. I did not realize I’d get spam emails from up and coming writers hoping to get thrown a bone. I’ll be honest – I thought people stopped doing that. I was signed up by a writer who I do not know personally…to preorder a…
Backwards
What’s the point of being a heavy hitter on Instagram, view wise… If no one is streaming your work or reading it elsewhere? Let’s be vague about this. But since Instagram has been around, a lot of people crave getting attention. Except this time, I’ve noticed it starts and stops at Instagram. My goal was…
Little – But Mighty
Is it just me, or does every person who claims to be reconnecting to their indigenous roots seem to be full of shit? “I love you cuz,” she lied. We bonded. Or so I thought. No. Help her cause, as soon as I needed help – silence. I’m not letting this issue go. Savage Fenty…
Brain Rot
“What you’re witnessing is the truth being revealed. Content creators are admitting they don’t get paid. Everyone is sick of influencers. Large corporations days are numbered. And somehow a very large percentage of people are still trying to get famous from one video or one brand deal. If you didn’t create what you do from…
Scrambling
Being self made means people believe they have access to you and your resources. They don’t. All aspects of The Fray and other works coming will be handled by Aby One, which cuts out a lot of extra foot work. While I’m a fan of the enthusiasm this person was showing, I’ve also fallen victim…
Insane
Imagine being my ex for a moment. I know, absolute ick. You’ve just told me how well The Fray is going to do, and how no matter what…you’ll support me. That’s late 2024, before things took off. Before the interviews came, the followers, and the notoriety. Before I received money owed to me, and I…
Uncertainty is Certain
How do you deal with uncertainty? “I don’t know.” I say this to myself because assuming you know is a dangerous trap of the mind. It really is okay to let things play out, because you never know the direction things can go. I feel being certain is closer to a result rather than first…
