Checking In with Ourself

“Parenting is Fun” they said

Parenting is when you want to get lit with your wife but alcohol and breastfeeding don’t mix. Parenting is when you have to choose between taking a nap because you’re sleep deficient or cooking food because you’re hungry. To all those people that say nothing compares to having a child, I guess you're right!

Hosting in-laws & Traveling to Vegas with a Family of 4

My Sri Lankan mother in-law flew in from Australia and we hosted her in our 2 bedroom apartment for 2 weeks immediately followed by an airplane trip to Vegas with a 2 year old and 5 month old baby. It was awesome. It was also just as difficult as it sounds.

Checking In with Ourself

Checking in with yourself feels dumb. It feels like you're wasting your time and, it feels like you’re crazy. Self, how are you today? Well self, I slept for 4 hours trying to catch a dub on ranked because we kept getting 2nd and I ate a hotpocket at 3 in the morning and counted that as my breakfast. If I’m unhappy with the mental habits I’ve been forming because I’ve allowed my untrained brain to run my life, that’s on me. If I can shake off a rough day and live in my abundance because I’ve forced myself to not leave awesomeness on the table of life, that’s on me too.

I Love Video Games

I’ve hosted gaming events with national bar chains, non-profits, and even professional sports teams. Stress, entertainment, accomplishment, boredom, loneliness, releasing the whoopass; gaming checks all the boxes at the same time. #gamingtoyourgoals #videogames #selfhelp

Procrastination Explosion Death

Maybe re-thinking the same thoughts about how I haven’t done something yet gives me something to do in my day, serving as an excuse to not get started on the things i actually care about. From not wanting to listen to my own schedule that I made for my own self, to over simplifying something over the course of 10 days just to find out it’s really difficult when it’s due - shout out to all my procrastinators out there.
