People really can be cruel. And a little dumb sometimes. Which... isn't the best combination. And maybe that's a little mean of me to say, but hear me out: All it does is breed hurt and hate. And the unfortunate part of that is that humans are particularly good at these things, and the internet… Continue reading 237. How to… read between the lines.

234. How to… Come back from the dead.
I have this thing I do where sometimes, when I'm having a rough time, I like to fall off of the face of the Earth. I hide on my platform a lot and talk to about three people and that's that until I'm feeling less like a swamp witch and a little more human. And… Continue reading 234. How to… Come back from the dead.
224. How to… take a deep breath…again.
It's been an insane couple days, guys. I'm trying to pack and get things sorted. I closed on my first house. The stress levels are definitely still running high. But you know what? It's okay. It's going to be okay. I'm glad I've got some awesome peoples in my life to help keep me grounded… Continue reading 224. How to… take a deep breath…again.
164. How to… Keep Dancing…
There's a song from the early nineties called "Collide" by Howie Day. I've used it as inspiration for several of my blog posts, in part because for me, it's got this message about duality that I've just never been able to ignore. There's one line in particular that I actually intend to add to my… Continue reading 164. How to… Keep Dancing…
162. Pro-tip: It’s all fun and games until…
Have you ever seen one of those compilation fail!videos on Facebook or Youtube? They usually involve someone sailing along, doing something super cool and/or gravity-defying until suddenly, the Universe slaps them back to reality. They crash into a wall, or their man-bits get far too intimate with a metal pole, and we, the unassuming viewer,… Continue reading 162. Pro-tip: It’s all fun and games until…
144. Even your favorite song will get on your nerves if you keep it on repeat too long (PS: this is true of everything else, too!)
They say the definition of insanity is repeating the same action over and over again expecting different results. Well, I don't know who "they" is, but whoever they are, I think they may have had a Second Life account at some point. I've spent most of the past few days in such a state of… Continue reading 144.

132. How to… save yourself.
So, me and my brothers are close. Not like, see each other every weekend close, but we've always got each others' backs, and always have. We play video games together, we talk on occasion... not much, though. Neither one of my younger brothers are much for picking up the phone. Last night, I went to… Continue reading 132. How to… save yourself.
124. How to… stop and smell the flowers.
Some days, you just need to chuck it all into the f**k it bucket, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that tomorrow is another day. Today has been one of those days for me, but I'm so thankful for some good friends and family in the real world as well as in Second Life… Continue reading 124. How to… stop and smell the flowers.
110. How to… wait for it…
The general rule of doing anything new is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. And, of course, along the way, to expect that anything and everything you could possibly imagine could go wrong will do so. To avoid curling into a fetal position and crying while sucking your thumb and imagining… Continue reading 110. How to… wait for it…
95. How to… look pretty in pink.
Did anyone else hate the color pink when they were little? Anyone? Well, I've had this love-hate relationship with the color pink since I was little. At one point, my room was pink. Then I went through a no-pink phase, then I liked it again, and hated it again...and at some point after joining Second… Continue reading 95. How to… look pretty in pink.
