9 February 2024

A great pressure has been released, we got started on creating a podcast. I’d like to say the hardest part is over and while starting is one of the hardest parts, with any journey it will get harder the longer we continue down the path. Progressive overload is what we practice, lift heavy, get stronger,Continue reading “9 February 2024”

2 January 2024

A new phrase I heard was “trad life”, pronounced with a hard “A” sound being short for traditional though. Norm McDonald had a joke that the word “cis” was a way to marginalize an otherwise normal person and it’s the same case here. Asking people randomly if traditional and normal are synonymous, I think mostContinue reading “2 January 2024”

20 Decemeber 2023

Things need to slow down so we can enjoy the holidays, my body is running on fumes and candy at this point. Yesterday was below freezing and I was outside trying to pull up fence poles, then went inside to work on the house and it seemed like nothing I did worked. Often I talkContinue reading “20 Decemeber 2023”

24 Little Hours

What a day today has been. I woke up to make breakfast and decided to do some cleaning around the house because usually after a weekend of us relaxing there’s more than a few dishes laying around the house. I loaded the dish washer and when I hit “Start” nothing happens, I keep hitting start.Continue reading “24 Little Hours”

The best part about me is I am not you

I try to stay humble because there’s no room for growth when you think things are as good as they can get, but I watched Good Will Hunting again recently and there’s a part when Matt Damon’s character says to Ben Affleck’s that he wants to be doing the same thing in 20 years. BenContinue reading “The best part about me is I am not you”

Kierkegaard is an Absolute Unit

I was doing my mindfulness and wanted to think more on the experience. The idea of mindfulness is something taught during the group therapy, so I haven’t done it since we last met in November. What I do is sit still for five minutes a day and try to keep my mind quiet. It’s theContinue reading “Kierkegaard is an Absolute Unit”

Ozymandias

Today was my first day back at group therapy, it’s oddly satisfying to see those people again and sad that some are gone. It’s sold as a three module course that each consist of meeting once a week for 8 weeks. I think there’s a bond between people because you’re talking about a part ofContinue reading “Ozymandias”

Oh Happy Day

I figured yesterday that since my name is Drawing My Life Away, I should probably be sharing more photos of drawings. I’d mentioned before that I’d like to share more photos in general, but the plants aren’t doing much these days. Actually it’s more like I’m keeping an eye out for any plant that isContinue reading “Oh Happy Day”

I Suppose You’re Looking for Me?

I don’t know what you want from me morning pages, I’m tired and I don’t feel like writing this. How much longer can we keep this up. It’s about to be the end of November. I started writing these on the first of January this year, so soon I will have gone a whole yearContinue reading “I Suppose You’re Looking for Me?”
