What do you do when passion’s depleted?When looking at the days ahead fills you with dread?The monotony of what you once dreamed now makes you impatient and mean.What do you do when there’s no hope for change?When the days all remain the same? When you realize your passion isn’t this way. What do you doContinue reading “Passion’s Depleted”

An Old Video Game
It’s a curious thought when a memory comes to mind. It lingers and lingers until you give it some time. A childhood game. On an older game system. You decide to dust it off, see if it says “press start to continue.” You untangle the wires and untangle its kinks. Decide to stock up onContinue reading “An Old Video Game”

Pages of Life
I pulled out an old plannerAnd flipped to a random pageThere I found an old resolution Where I vowed to write every single day I know it didn’t happenMy writing fell off the shelfBut I had high hopes back thenAnd they’re still my hopes even nowTo make it an author’s decadeThat was going to beContinue reading “Pages of Life”
