“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.”

Life Goals
All I really want in life is to become a genuinely good, nice, kind, caring, productive person.
Slow On The Uptake
We’re all living beings trying to figure out how to live better, but we’re not all capable of the same things or moving at the same pace and we never, EVER will be, so we have to let that dream die already. Please try to have some patience & tolerance for those of us who are a little slower at this process than you might be. We’d REALLY appreciate it.
Letter To Myself
Hey, Jax.
I’ve noticed that things have been going very well for you recently. One might even say that almost all of your dreams have been coming true in the sense that opportunity after opportunity to accomplish your goals has presented itself & continues to do so. That’s pretty rad, dude. Grats & stuff.
What Is Self-Love?
I haven’t made a blog post in a while.
I haven’t updated my social media accounts either.

Vulnerability & Shame
What makes you feel vulnerable? What triggers feelings of shame for you?
The harder it is to open ourselves to the possibility of being vulnerable, the more likely we have experienced some form of trauma in our lives. The earlier on in our lives that we were exposed to something traumatic, the more ingrained those neural pathways are, meaning the more likely the roads that leads to us experiencing feelings like shame are well travelled.
This Too Shall Pass
“It’s funny, isn’t it? The things that matter? The truth is none of it matters. And the truth is all of it matters tremendously. It’s a wonder any of us ever get out of bed at all. And yet, we get out of bed.”
Stop Picking Your Scabs
“It occurred to me that ‘choose’ and ‘pick’ are synonyms. You can choose to learn from your mistakes and turn your pain into something kind, or you can pick your scabs and pick a fight.”
Sorry, I’m Asimoving. Could you expound on that?
One of the most universally “autistic” struggles I undergo is requiring a certain level of precision of language in order to be able to process the new information I’m receiving in a meaningful way.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Just a gentle reminder about what effective communication entails.
Emotions can cause us to forget simple truths.
