How I Became a Writer

Getting to know me: What do I write and who am I writing to? — Who am I? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself since I realized that the identity I had just didn’t feel right. Writing is new to me. I’ve been writing for about a year and a half since I realized the connection it gave me to other people that are…

What if we had another American Revolution?

Against what? For what? And where would we end up? — “My name is Gladiator.” “SLAVE. How dare you turn your back to me!” I love these movie moments. I’m a joyful critic who only loves actors who can make me believe that they’re not one. Zackary, WTF does this have to do with revolution?? Haha. I’m getting there, I promise… …

The Self-Made Prison

Do you realize what you’ve done, Reader? — Who are you today? What do you do? And if you can answer both of those, then ask yourself this: How imprisoned do you feel? Is who you are today who you want to be? If what you do today isn’t what you want to do, why are you doing…

The Truth We All Refuse to Reveal

Liar, liar, soul on fire. — My greatest assumption by far is that most people are not even close to doing what they love. What they’re meant for? What they’re destined to be? It doesn’t matter how you say it. All that matters is that we seek it. I’ve tried ten different things and the art…

Even Your Joy takes Simplicity and Sacrifice

The pain of what we have to endure, the loss we feel of our identity, and the inevitable abandonment of healthy things. — Full disclosure: I fail a lot. What I thought would take months has taken years. What I thought would make me a master has just affirmed that I become more of a student. Getting to Jedi status is hard man. So, what I’m about to say comes from a mindset…

Two Worlds: The World of Assumption and the World of Potential

The one you decide to live in is a trajectory toward very different futures. — “I want to make hundreds of thousands of dollars…” This is what I said to my dad during a phone call. Out of context, that seems shallow, right? But humor me for a second… Consider this an expansion of my last article on the benefits of our anger. Whether you…

Don’t Tell Yourself that It’s Going to Be Okay

It's okay to be frustrated, fed up, and angry. — I constantly come across conflicting ideas. Ideas from one guru are completely opposite of the next. One says passion will save your life, the other says money will buy you the freedom for passion. One says find what makes you happy, the other says life is about becoming resilient to…

Are You Choosing to Suffer Rather than Win?

This may be stopping you from massive movements in love and passion and achievement. — Of all the questioning I do of the world… I question myself even more. Is the path I’ve chosen the right one? Am I wasting my time? If there’s something I could love more or be better at, how will I find it if I’m doing this? Will I become…

The Whisper of the Artist in Your Head

There’s a talent where you don’t see it, dedication where you haven’t tried it, and an irrational voice trying to show you the way. — Why do we hurt so much? Why do we spend time telling the world how wrong and unjust it is? Why does life seem to be less than it is more? Why do we feel that life is shiny but only in our daydreams? The Voice is what you need…

This is Why You’re Not Being Left Behind

It’s not when you are in life, it's when you decide to choose your life. — My mind was either elated about my freedom or depressed by how lost I was. It was a volatile back-and-forth between these two extremes. And it was exhausting… She told me nothing. But she showed me she had moved on. There. On a date. At a hockey game. With him. …
