Creative Meanderings

Well I keep telling myself that I am going to get back to posting, but it takes more than self-talk to reform a habit – especially one that may not have necessarily caught on fully before it got broken. 😉 So, I thought I’d at least write a short post now since the mere act of typing something here is a first step. I’ve got more ideas brewing…stay tuned! ~T 😀

It’s been a few months…. My site was down for a few reasons, but it’s back and I’m ready to rebuild my posting habit again. 😉 Aren’t you all relieved?! More to come soon! ~T 😀

There is a delicate balance between just enough angst to stimulate creativity and maintaining the joy of contentment. When I think that I have achieved this balance, there is a sense of wariness and unease as to when it might all go off the rocker. I blame this on PTSD rather than skepticism or pessimism.

It’s been a busy and a little positively chaotic couple of weeks. Work has changed a bit for me, which has led to some stirring of the status quo in and out of the office.

The first time I recognized these moments as having significance was in University. I used to be good at math, not…

One of my favorite TV shows is Criminal Minds. Aside from the obvious reason that it satisfies my increasingly morbid fascination with crime, death, and the psychology of murder, I also love it because it has delved into character development, which touches on why people would do that kind of job. My takeaway from nearly every episode is that they are doing something meaningful, significant, and impactful on other’s lives. They may glamorize…

We are all walking contradictions, aren’t we? If we think about terms like: Do as I say, not as I do. OR The grass is always greener on the other side. Or, even if we were to analyze our negative sentiments towards hypocrisy, we would likely find that there is so much we are hypocritical about in our own lives. I have always struggled with the concept of conformity. Yet, that doesn’t mean…

Last week when I missed my intended train stop for the second time in as many days, and then this week having nearly left my phone behind twice, I decided that perhaps my brain is in need of a bit of a break. Generally, I am on top of things even when I am trying to convince myself that the myth of multitasking is the real myth. However, this morning, i actually wrote…
