"A New Hope Lost"

I am curious if they'd ever do a "What If" series on -Star War-.

Like what would have happened if storm troopers were really about it and Darth Vader was the menace to society.

Perhaps a brief glimpse into an even darker reality of fictional characters.

Truth be told, I only added the lightsaber.

"At Peace with a Monster"

They style hasn't changed but the technique,
even the perspective has shifted into something new.

This journey has been of great reflection, needed reconcilation and accountability.

These practices are here for a reason,
Like medicine to get you through the season.

"Death can no longer be the answer"

My dearest condolences go out to the family of Charlie Kirk. Regardless of our differences in opinion, your death was unwarranted and a travesty.

Death can no longer be the answer, it can no longer be how we convey our opposition.
Charlie was not out here inciting violence.
He was using his voice to confront opposing beliefs.

I may have disagreed with some of the things he shared but we agreed on many.

Unfortunately, someone made a choice for us and that choice has consequences that will affect the mentality of this country for perhaps decades to come.

The killing of one another needs to stop or the only future Humanity is heading towards is Oblivion.

"Internal Peace of a Chaotic Mind"

It is intention that dictates outcomes.
Sure, effort is necessary but intention is the reason the effort is there. If one's conviction is strong enough, there is very little that can stand in the way.

The truth is, however, that conviction is an internal resolve to do the thing or, accomplish the task but it is easy to lose that driving force if one does not have resolve within themselves.

My mind has been a chaotic mess, and honestly, I find it is due to my lack of resolve.

After great deliberation over the direction of my future I have found my resolve once again...And this time, it will not be shaken.

I've made some great sacrifices since moving out Brookings, challenging ones but each has taught me how to climb the next step.

Crazy how being on the precipice of success can feel isolating and devoid of it's trappings. . . I think that's the point though really.
