It will no longer be special

One day your dream job will just be your job. Your beautiful home will just be where you live. The love of your life will just be your spouse. The greatest kids on earth will just be your offspring. Maybe none of these are relatable. Think about what you want…

Why “happy wife, happy life” is a shit idea

Couples that embrace this policy never learn to deal with the fact that their needs and desires aren’t always perfectly aligned. They never learn conflict resolution skills. It creates resentment in the husband and a loss of respect for her husband in the wife. I propose a different idea. In fact, there is another adage that you can simply swap out for this one. “Pick your battles.” Some battles are worth conceding because they are trifling in the grand scheme of things. Don’t create conflict over those. Those are the wrong hills to die on.

The purpose of a funeral isn’t to mourn the deceased. The purpose is to bring those still alive closer together. To wake them up from their slumber and supercharge their compassion and appreciation for each other. To motivate these acts of love while it still matters.

The Time Capsule

An entire life yields no more importance than an elementary school time capsule. One day, this life be as relevant as the inside jokes you told when you were in kindergarten. Not even nostalgia will redeem it, just like those potty jokes. It will be such a distant memory as…

Waking up Into a Dream

Mystical demystification, anonymous assailants, and the train to nowhere — You’re not paying attention. What’s the title say? All day long, you find yourself waking up on this moving train. Over and over again, here you are, with no recollection of how you ended up here. You later find out that your whole life, there’s been some nameless stranger following…
