Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see. But there are certain non-negotiables in this life. Certain things we can't cheat ourselves out of. We are not a piece of meat being acted on.    However, this is where God comes in. Some o...

The difference between a girl and a woman

I've been laid low the past 4 days by a crazy fever that left me feeling like my brain had been badly scalded with hot water. 

In this rare moment of reflection, I thought about my life; those who have been good to me and those who've simply used my kindness to their advantage. 

And maybe that's what a bad case of the flu, or covid or whatever the hell that was, is supposed to do: wash all the junk out of the trunk. 

You know? So we can start anew. 

The thing is, I had this Thai girlfriend who really turned me into a miserable heap. She really brought me down.

First she insisted that we move in together. 

I didn't want that. 

But I didn't want to say no. I mean, who does that? Who refuses such an offer. 

It all seemed fine at the time, but I sit here the shell of a man. 

That girl took everything. Lock, stock and barrel. And now she hardly even keeps in touch. 

Hard, cold, soulless. 

That's how she's become in retrospect. 

I guess a GIRL can only take being complimented so many times before she caves into her pride.

Now let's think what a woman would do. 

A woman would probably not date a guy like me in the first place. 

She'd have enough responsibility to recognize: "Hey, no offence, but you need to get your life together first"

She definitely WOULD NOT take a lower middle class guy, who moved to Thailand to teach English, and scalp him for his last thread of hair. 

A woman would think of you first. So remember that. 

There's no cheap and easy way out. 

Either you will EARN the trust of a woman, or you'll reap the damage of a girl who wants to offer you an easy way out of your pain.  . . 

But then drops you anyway. 

Everyone pays in the end. You shall reap what you sow.
