No more seperating
Yello!
I was ona date recently , and it was nice! Nothing, really came out of it except this one thing and that was her talking about how she hates writing, especially notes for her job, and that triggered an old memory. I then responded, “OH Hey I used to write!” And although I did and knew this, I forgot about it.
We then looked at some of my writings from college and a lil post-college and she started to get emotional. And I had no idea that was going to happen but she told me to that I needed to keep writing.
Confused, I look at her and then looked into the sky (Hello Jesus) and I then asked myself, “Why did I stop writing?”
I thought about if for two weeks and then decided, to start writing again. Not for money, not for attention, but just as a thing to do that’s creative without video or photo editing and honestly another tool that gets me away from social media.
I used to hate and not understand people doomscrolling’s addiction but i started to fall into it and up my screen time from 8 hours to 12 hours. Never again. F*ck , even right now, the apple notes app which I'm writing on wouldn’t let me type out a single word before it guessed (to be fair it got right 90% of the time) but Still do we not notice how insane that it.
Automation and AI is killing us slowly. My life is full of mistakes, so many bad and beautiful mistakes. This automating my words and Ai being part of everyday life, is making it harder to make mistakes. But the entire reason of being human is to be better from mistakes.
Eve messed up and bit the apple. And from there we had to learn from out mistakes. That’s being human. Making mistakes is admitting when you’re wrong. How we respond to that, is how we learn and become better.
In a world without mistakes, we will never become great, we will be handed it. Diminishing true real effort and replacing it with “Smarter not harder” work ethic. No one ever had a good smart day at work, the phrase is hard’s day work. It’s good to be smart and hard working, but that doesn’t mean replacing the hard with the smart.
So, instead of me writing my thoughts onto a different website that’s separated from my business, I decided to keep it all in one place. I already have so many different links for me: Youtube, Instagram, Facebook (not really), my website, like do I really need another?
So I’m just going to place all my creative work onto this website. Idk how often I’ll be uploading, but I’m on social media a lot so I might just be writing instead. Plus tbh, all my friends and some dates have stated, “I can talk forever” so, I guess I better keep proving them right.

Also I’m going to be uploading photos/videos to each blog post.
This is one of my favorite photos I’ve taken this year. This was at St Ann Perish in Coppell TX. I was there supporting my neighbor and their newborn baby being baptized.
Imagine one day a church using Ai to cover a wall, instead of this beautiful painting. Yeah this isn’t the Vatican. This is a suburb in DFW.
