Being yourself has become such a cliche that I literally cannot even, dear readers. I just literally cannot even. Sorry, bad habit from dating someone in their early twenties. Such a beautiful create who is still figuring herself out and doesn’t really know what she wants out of life yet. Someone who is exploring the open…
Human beings are unique from animals in that we have the ability to voice our opinions and change the world around us. We can create and we can destroy, we alter the world with the objects we use on a continuous basis. From computers, to clothing, to houses, to vehicles, to entertainment, we really do…
Growing up is hard to do. Or to if I were to rip it off of a writer like E. E. Cummings, it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. Which is why Peter Pan never did it, why Peter Pan syndrome is real, and it’s also why we don’t all get there….
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever have it all, dear readers. I want to have a successful blog, publish a few bestseller novels, create & feature in at least 3 popular YouTube video series, maintain a healthy diet that include meals, meditation, exercise, & affirmations, create meaningful & beloved paintings, and operate a community driven app for the arts….

Snooping can be quite a rush. You know you are looking at something which isn’t really for you, but it feels good to look at weird things, so you do it. I’ve done some snooping on the internet from time to time, dear readers. It’s similar to research, but is a lot more cathartic, because I could…
My parents tried their very hardest to impart ideas of fairness in us from a young age. “Share with your brothers and sister”, “make sure that everyone gets a taste of that pizza”, “you all need to do your part to keep the house clean”, “don’t forget that it’s your turn to do the dishes”,…
A few months back I wrote a niche post about an idea we have at timotheories. I put it fairly directly at the time, and it still rings true, but I’ll expand on that idea today. The idea was one that might be obvious, but like many obvious ideas, it should be repeated. BECAUSE it’s important – Board games…
