Nothing to do.Nowhere to go to.No one to be. Nothing to talk about. So many parts of me fell apart in the last few months. Dreams, goals, hopes, visions, plans, ideas, ideals, identities, achievements, preferences, rules to live by, random nuggets of wisdom. None of these were probably mine to begin with. They all seem…

What if the goal was to let go of goals? – How facing the meaninglessness helped me get out of my own way.
Imagine three things you want to achieve or accomplish, three things that would cause you to thrive. It could be this week, this month, or this year… At the very least, this seems like a harmless exercise… Even if it won’t help you achieve any goals, the worst possible outcome is to stay where you…
