The labyrinth of life.
Life is a labyrinth we are stuck in. We have no actual way out. Yet, all we do is keep trying to find the exit, which we believe, will make us complete and happy.
Read More…A passionate life.
No passion? No life. I’m not talking about sex here (although that in itself is reason enough to live!). A life lived without passion is not worth living. We don’t really want to sit down and analyze our lives to death, and think about what we are missing out on, or the fears behind our […]
Read More…Career success doesn’t define happiness.
We are hardwired, from the moment we take our first breath, to start competing for a spot of our own in life. Everyone starts telling us what we should do and what we should aspire to in order to become successful, and by “successful,” they of course mean financial success.
Read More…When bad things happen to good people.
Or maybe the bad people had excess of bad things happen to them already that turned them into selfish bastards or worse, psychopaths? Yet, that doesn’t take away from the fact that plenty of good people experience hardship blow after blow, having us question why us and not them, who really seem to deserve a […]

There are days when you see your life as a bystander and ask yourself if this is the life chose. As the day progresses the cloud follows you and you can’t seem to shake that feeling of meaninglessness. You want to escape it but can’t. It seems forever to finally get home and hide under […]
Read More…Love lessons from my friends.
I dislike labeling people, especially regarding their sexual orientation. I don’t introduce people by saying: “This is my gay friend, Jay,” the same way I don’t say: “This is my straight friend Mary,” or “This is my sex-toy-loving, single friend Anne.” I allow people to come to their own conclusions, unless someone expresses a romantic […]
Read More…The waves of uncertainty and self-doubt.
They come and go. Just when you thought you were pretty settled, like waves, uncertainty and self-doubt hit you. When you thought you were on the right path, here comes a wave to freeze you still.
Read More…Is it too late?
Even in my twenties I thought it was too late for me to start something new. And so it’s been until recently. I suppose age has a lot to do with it. Now that I am deep into my 40’s, I have come to feel that I have much less to lose. All those what […]
