The words “humanize me” above were written by a person I love dearly who was dehumanized so severely at an early age that it lead to a very dark place. Watching it is the genesis for this blog.

Don’t worry. There is not one big party that everyone but you is going to. The truth is, everybody will find things wrong about everyone else.

Stop feeling the rejection and welcome to the non-party party.

It has been said that hate and anger is a poison pill that we take expecting it to hurt someone else. Let it go. Forgive everyone, look forward and move to a future with less poison.

Wrapping ourselves in a cloak of checkboxes to seek elevation above others is wrongly perceived as society. Creating an ego is the creation of an external suit.

At some point, we all have suits but some people really fixate on their suit (ego - I am a … created to elevate themselves to be higher than others). Some people are focused on their suit and will hate yours which will make can feel like deep rejection. Sometimes that suit can be outgrown for where we are in life or the suit gets tattered and worn out but we still wear it and attach anyone who does not like it.

Ego creation is easy to get out of and hard to maintain, leading to more problems than it solves.

When we know better; we do better. Knowing that gossip is social assassination is the way to see the damage being done and to act.

Over-fixation on political position, ideology or division based on political party will put you in the ground. Hope it is worth it.

Fear, ambition, insecurity, competitiveness are all combining to drive our kids into the ground and create the American pressure cooker family.

Find your freedom.
