On the underground, I often see ads for sleep issues. The promotions sell medication to aid a good night’s rest.

Sleeping problems used to be an issue for me… In 2013, they quite literally took on a life of their own in the most terrifying way… Recently, I’ve struggled, waking up extra early for no reason. I don’t know why this is as my mind has been freed of the foundations that often cause sleeplessness;…

Day 23 – “Got to spend more time with one another…”  This message has been coming at me from all angles; family, friends, even dreams… We say it so often: “we’re busy.” But, are we really busy or under a deception of busyness from our phones and WiFi?

Continuing The Walk, which has led me to some extremely unlikely choices and necessary trials, the recent revisiting of my childhood has opened up some powerful places in my mind.

It’s been 20 years since I watched the home videos of my childhood.

When I was a child, I was certain that by twenty-seven, I would have a wife and children, a successful career, and financial stability.
