The Lioness

September 30, 2019

The thump of her heart was loud in her ears as she continued to run. The lioness in her raged through every muscle fiber in her legs sending the signal back to her brain with the instinctual message;  Run. The only other sound was her fevered breathing, the volume seemed amplified as if routed through a microphone and replayed for her through a loudspeaker back into her own ears. She tried to squint at what was ahead as if she concentrated on...

"Just" ... a thief of intent.

July 31, 2019

"Just" get a job."Just" try harder."Just" be positive, it will work out.I'm "just" a streamer.Just is a thief of value. You say "just" to pretend not to mean what you are saying, to soften the comment, to steal the intent of your words. Somewhere we developed a gray area between being humble and getting stepped on. We started adding "just" in front of our sentences. It's almost like we feel the need to apologize so we throw in the word "just".Part...

The Manifesto...

March 15, 2019

I feel like this word will continue to bleed through online media for months to come as we mourn the loss of life resulting from the horrific shootings at the two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. A white-supremacist shooter murdered innocents while they sat in peace, for what seems like a sick twisted plot that was dreamed up only to bait the media. The shooter live-streamed the attack itself on Facebook, and the video was quickly shared...

Having perspective

February 9, 2019

When you experience something you deem "hard" or perhaps something others may deem a shock, tragedy, rough, difficult, a tough go of it, maybe you've seen a rough patch... you know what I mean. It could be personal, professional, something self-imposed, something you didn't anticipate, something you saw coming, any way you look at it - there's a beginning, middle and end to it. It's not always hard, and the beginning feels different than the...

Feeling the change coming

February 2, 2019

This time of year for me has always felt harder emotionally than others. Beyond the very real weight of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), there is a weird sort of awkward holding my breath sort of feeling. It's an uncomfortableness that's resulted in settling into something that is a palpable discomfort, but I can't really do anything about it. Winter time (at least in Colorado) is as manic as any other season, but for me, the grasp winter has...

Lean into love

January 30, 2019

While we're on the subject of feelings (I mean, when aren't we?) I want to dive into my love for my wide variety of loving friends. They are scattered around the globe, and I feel like the ones I collect, seem to stay delicately tucked into pockets of my life and poke their heads out when I need them most. They are quite possibly the most treasured peices of my heart. Never has there ever been a deeper love in this universe than the love I have...

When what you need hurts others

January 29, 2019

Along the journey of life, there is bound to be a time in your life which your path will diverge from one that you may have been sharing with someone. Perhaps that path had been well worn, traveled and as you look back over your shoulder you see many happy memories. However, glancing ahead, your paths begin to part and the footsteps now find their own beat instead of landing to the same time. It's sad, and can sometimes feel like you are breaking,...

Loving yourself first.

January 28, 2019

If there's something that's become increasingly more obvious to me as I've become older and more mature is that to deal with life's challenges and be a better more whole person is that we have to heal ourselves and learn to love ourselves first, before we can be loved and be of true use to the world. Not to say we can't be loved and be useful to others without it - but I've come to a certain understanding slowly over the last few years. I really...

When you need others.

January 16, 2019

Asking for help isn't inherently a bad thing. We're often told that to be strong, we have to do it ourselves. To be brave, we can do it alone. To be stoic, to have a stiff upper lip, that we should and can tough it out. This isn't a thing that just men have to deal with, though they have it MUCH worse than women do. They have to do it without showing emotion. Women are at least given a pass that they have to do it, but people will wait if...

On Being Sexy.

January 14, 2019

It took less than a day. I had been streaming on Twitch for less than 24 hours. One comment in my public channel while playing Sims4, and then a direct message. One said, "What would you do for $1?" the other told me, "God, you are so sexy." Being told you are sexy will most likely bring about specific emotions in a person. Which emotions may depend on a few things; the person delivering the message, the context,...
