Self-negativity

Things I Know

I want to kick negativity out of my life. I want to be free from negativity. This is one thing that I want.

How to Destroy Someone’s Confidence

Blame them for something they didn’t do.

But, last night, I was thinking of this verse specifically inContinue reading “Whom the Son sets Free”

Morning Pages (Again)

I started writing morning pages again this morning after a five year hiatus. I didn’t want to do them. Do I feel I’m a blocked artist? Not necessarily, but I feel like I am a very frustrated one. The morning pages, first day back, revealed that I want to be free of self-negativity. I wantContinue reading “Morning Pages (Again)”
