I’ve been studying Buddhism a lot lately. Reading, watching videos or having small talks with people. I was curious about it even back in high school when I first read a book about it, but I never really plunged into it before until late last month. It is hard to get used to the teachings and there are still so many opinions from others who … Continue reading I’m Starting To Dive Into Buddhism
I like to reflect on things usually when a year passes by specific events or possible upcoming ones. Two years have passed since I had a huge gradual change in my life. Attempted suicide, divorce, finding out terrible things about my marriage, but at the same time great things have happened. In fact, every day the good starts to outweigh the bad. Recently I’ve come … Continue reading A little over two years
I recently read the book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck” and I have to say it was something that I didn’t think I was going to like that much. At first I heard it was somewhat of a self-help book and I honestly can’t stand them, and this one within the first chapter didn’t grab me right away.

We weren’t in much contact … Continue reading Good News To Bad

When I finally came to that conclusion I felt a … Continue reading We Use The Word Love To Much
This is probably the hardest part about being divorced now. I know a few people that have done it, and they do a great job at it, but for me I don’t think I can ever be friends with my ex-wife. Even for the sake of my kids I just don’t think I can. I feel selfish for thinking this way and when I try … Continue reading I can’t be friends with my ex and I’m fine with it
Today I took my oldest son on a field trip and for some reason so many memories started to pop into my mind. I hate the human brain. It never remembers what I want it to, but it will help me to remember the worst moments of my life. When my first child was born I cried for the entire first week of his life. … Continue reading Letting Go Of What I Can’t Control
