Hi, I'm Sam,  A lot of people I've come across often quote "Curiosity killed the Cat" for the tiniest excuse to get out of answering a personal question or any question at all they'd rather not answer. I always respond "but I am not a cat" and they always laugh but I will still push to get an answer to my question. Is that me prying ? I don't know but I still wanna know. I don't want to know because I want to tell the next available ear or use the information to keep my seat at the table of those who "know" things about people. I want to know because I want to learn from your experience, I want to conduct myself and act appropriately around you. I will want to know as little as possible if you're a stranger to me and my curse for as far back as I can remember is that people find my easily trustworthy. I love it because it makes people very comfortable around me which makes me comfortable but I hate it because it makes pe...

Hi, I'm Sam, Nothing is truly the end of something, where one thing stops, another begins and who doesn't love a new beginning. Yes, new beginnings can be nerve racking, the uncertainty making your heart beat so loudly that you wonder if the carefree teenager sitting next to you on the plane can hear it and ask you what's wrong and you try to act all cool like nothing is wrong and truthfully there's nothing wrong but something in you is trying to scare and convince you into thinking that something might be wrong. You've done everything humanly possible to analyze the end of something to better prepare yourself for what is to come, trying to ease yourself into the new normal but as a human, you can only prepare to an extent but whatever that will happen will definitely happen and this end might be premeditated or simply coincidental, but the scary thing is that there is always more and the good thing too is that there is always something more. In so many...

  Hi, I’m Sam, I need to find a new thinking position, cross-legged in the dim light seems like a better position to think, laid back, and observing life. Some things happen or repeat themselves and you know this requires serious analysis. Why did this happen? What triggered it? What didn't trigger it? Will it happen again? If it does happen again, what should I do? What is the best way to react? Should I be scared? A deep, sincere analysis will answer all these questions and more. Some days I observe life, on other days I comment on it, sometimes I act on it, sometimes I react but most times I ignore it. There's really no point crying over spilled milk, either I belittle myself and use my bread to soak it up from the floor or wash it off, but I will have to do something. The point of my thinking is not to get rid of the peace in my life, but to ponder enough to take things that happened as seriously as I should.   One of my favorite things to do is daydream, that is my ...

Hi, I'm Sam,  I can wholeheartedly say now that I know what willing consistency looks like; I completely agree that it is something that has to be experienced and not explained. I had to stay consistent in this, and a lot of fears, deep fears that I had stepping into this have completely disappeared, although new fears spring up, not anything I can't handle. It's one thing to be consistent in something and completely another thing to be consistent willingly. The thing with the second one is that you may not necessarily have any material thing to gain while soaking your feet in the pool of consistency, but you just keep going because you know that there's something to gain at that point in time, even if you can't explain it to someone else.  In the course of my consistent work on this blog for the past year, I realized that I wasn't doing it on my own, and it gave me a confirmation that this is my purpose; I am not idle, and I refuse to be idle. Somet...
