Do you ever look around and realize there are so many strangers? I'm driving the freeway right now. There's not a lot of traffic, but I watch the cars pass by and the thought occurred to me. I don't know these people and I may never see them again. Ships passing in the night. And this gets me thinking about how large the world is...

What am I to do? I feel like I need a change in my life. My life has gotten stale. I need a change but I can't put my finger on exactly what I want to change. I know I want a new job. I've been doing the same thing for years and I'm ready for a new challenge but I don't know what to...

Someone asked me about my screen name and where it came from. I love it, personally. It's a silly reason but here it goes. Think of going to a party or a get-together. You've got your drinks. Maybe it's just soda and water, maybe it's some beer, or maybe it's your favorite liquor. Then you've got your music. It gets people going. The right music...

I've decided that I need to express my creativity more. I need an outlet and writing is it. I've always wanted to write a novel so maybe I'll do that. Or maybe I'll write more here. I love to write and while some days are better than others, words typically come easily.... while writing. Speaking? Not always. But I tend to express myself better in...

It's raining where I live today. I don't mind the rain. In fact, I love the rain. I love waking up to the sound of it, I love hearing it hit the roof, and I love looking out my office window and watching it fall. A colleague of mine said she needed a sunny day, but I told her I needed a rainy day to...

I got to thinking today. I've been trying to figure out my next move in life. I don't enjoy the job I have but I've been doing it for so long, I don't know what else I could do. Anyhow I got to thinking about younger me, living in a big city alone, trying to figure out my life. I guess some things never change....

I got sad for some reason. Many reasons actually but just one of those things. So I put aside the project I'm working on and went to my car to spend some lunch time alone. I started scrolling this site and noticed how happy people are. Even when you're being sultry without a smile, the happiness shines through. And that made me happy. I like...

I'm driving home thinking about friends, or my lack of. This isn't a pity post about how I don't have friends. It's about how I'm picky when it comes to calling someone a friend. To me a friend is someone I can trust with whatever is going on in my head and they would trust me the same. A friend knows what I need before...

Hi there. Thanks for reading. I'm not much of a writer but I've enjoyed getting some thoughts out at random times at this random site. I'm enjoying a cocktail and when I have a drink I get misty-eyed and nostalgic. Does that happen to you? I get thinking about the past and where I am now, the good and the bad. I guess it's a...

It's kindness Tuesday. What is it? It's something I just made up. I was overseeing a project at work today and I told someone they did a great job with a difficult situation. The person smiled and gave me a genuine "thank you." I don't always think about thanking someone for doing their job but I should. And I should do a better job of...

I'm not certain why I'm writing but I feel compelled. It was a long day at work so it's nice to log on and see what's going on. I was away from this site for a bit but I don't know why. I enjoy this site and the interactions. I'm shy so I mostly browse. Maybe one day I'll reach out and say hi. But...

So I don't know why I'm writing this other than the fact that I need an outlet. I'm at a party but I disappeared upstairs because it's too much. I get overwhelmed easily. I know a lot of people can relate to that. I want attention but attention makes me uncomfortable. So here I sit away from people trying to work up courage to go...
