A Word about Wisdom: An Epilogue to "Things I have Learned about Life".
One year ago, I wrote a journal entry here of Things I have Learned about Life and I have since learned a couple more things.
Be careful in giving or taking unspecified wisdom.
Also, don’t give your relative who is younger than you by almost twenty years the credit for you giving up on your marriage and travelling to a different country to meet the girl you have fallen in love with through …
I just changed my mind.
I know in my last journal entry I said I might try and have something up once a week – and it’s been more than one week since I put something up – but that’s not because I forgot about it or haven’t written anything – it’s mostly because I started to think that I might want to not put every story or piece of writing up on the internet because I may want t…
Writing
It’s been a while since I’ve added anything on here, but I’ve been embarrassed that I haven’t really done a whole lot of new writing, lately. I want to change that.
Maybe I’ll try and have a story written at least once a week. I’m intending to start experimenting with a new technique with my writing and to see how it goes, too.
Detatchment
I find that at times when I’m expressing emotion, I split myself in half and while part of me is feeling and expressing that emotion, the other part of me, an emotionless half, is watching myself. I think, oh, look at that, I’m crying, I guess I must be sad. Oh, hey, my voice is faltering, I must be nervous. And sometimes I think, am I really feeling this? Or do I only think I’m…
Of Faith and Identity
Having gone to a Christian school in my youth, I was told stories of Christians who lived overseas in countries where practicing Christianity was forbidden, of having a gun held to their heads and threatening to shoot unless they renounce their faith, and of those Christians proudly and fearlessly refusing to do so, sometimes ending in their death as a martyr, sometimes involving miracles involv…
Things I have Learned about Life
My friend, thepalms wrote a journal entry about the pieces of wisdom she’s picked up since being alive, and it reminded me that I once wrote a list of things I’ve learned from life that I wrote in an old blog, so I’ve digged it up and thought I’d show redbubble itsnoteasy’s brand of wisdom. My list is not as long, but I may add to it.
Don’t mistake being normal…
Identity Crisis
This might seem a little vain of me, but I’m really curious as to how I come across to others. I’ve met enough people where they think how they come across to others is completely the opposite of the reality. And it’s not like people will always tell you the truth about that, either, so I make no assumption about my own appearances. I simply do not have the proper perspective.

McFacebook
I guess I’ve had this redbubble account for a while, introduced to me by my sister and later I’ve rediscovered again by another friend who uses it.
Maybe I will try to use this site more, though. I want a place to express myself which is something a little more than the quick fix you get with the McFacebook. That’s what sites like facebook and twitter are, I suppose, the junk fo…
