Escaping addiction
It’s not drugs that steal our children from us. Like us, they also need to feel significant. Taking drugs is not just a bad habit. It’s a means to escape what we don’t want to deal with in the world around us. Is it a bad decision? Absolutely. Because escaping something never resolves it, it…

Cyclical abuse
At first, we remain in a bad relationship because we truly believe in the sincerity of the claims of our partner to want to improve, or to overcome what they’re struggling with. After some time, if we’re not careful, our inability to get them to follow through will convince us that we’re not a good…

We’re all searching for home
Remember, at some point someone also looked at you in your childhood and thought, “Damn, is this what the future looks like for humanity?” Our children have the best of us and the worst of us, and somewhere between those ends they form their own unique character. If you hope to understand them, you need…

Live life. Really, live it.
How do you cheat life? You focus on what you don’t have, instead of what you can give. We’re hard-wired, even before birth, to create something bigger than who we are. We need to be part of something that gives us a sense of belonging or significance. Anything that will convince us that our existence…
