Travel and moving checklist
Sent an email to cancel my lease —> no reply for three days and counting. Don’t have a specific day to leave my old apartment, even though the new lease starts the 1st of next month. Property management groups are the devil (I said that before, right?) Need to do laundry and have 100% of…

The sound of silence (pt.1)
In a medical waiting room, a man walks up to the front desk to speak with the receptionist. “Greetings, I have an appointment now at 11am.” – Name? “Mauro” — Full name, sir “Mauro Bever” “Mr. Bever, this way. I understand this is your first appointment with us. Fill out the form with all your…

A glimpse of incoming good news
Gonna keep it short tonight, and just give you an update on my personal life. T-minus 6 days for my trip to the Caribbean. Crystal clear waters, beach lounging, exquisite dishes, and escaping the midwest winter with 85F degree weather awaits! T-minus 15 days for my move to a new apartment (Oh, I never told…

The sound of silence (pt.2)
*for part 1, click here* [Lunch time at a diner]. ‘“Hey, are you still here?” Starts snapping his fingers in front of his face. — Oh, yeah. (Immediately refocuses back on his meal and lunch partner.) Sorry. “You were spacing out, man. Again… Everything alright? Lately, you’ve been kind of ‘out there’.” — I’m fine,…

Day 31, DONE!
Officially made it to post Number 31. It’s been a long ass month. Still here, still fighting the good fight and still taking hits. To be honest, it’s not really hard finding things to write about (especially POV blog-style). What takes a toll on you are those very stressful days that drain every ounce of…

You may say I’m a cynic, but I’m not the only one
Probably one of my favorite sayings (maybe I just think about it a lot and it’s really not that common) is: “Expect the worst of people, and never get disappointed.” Two scenarios can come out, 100% guaranteed each and every time:1- Bad stuff happens, and you were prepared to deal with it.2- Good stuff happens,…

Nothing left to do but wait
After weeks of hardships and actually putting in the effort to resolve my situation, tomorrow is THE day that decides my next 12 months, and I don’t have absolutely any control over it. A random guy gets to decide if I win the lease over several applicants. Which is complete bullshit by the way ’cause…

Wishing for simpler times
Don’t have a single clear and positive thought running through my mind right now. Really trying to muster the strength and serenity to just let things flow and avoid conflicts. No, it’s not seasonal depression. No, I’m not angry or repressed. No, it’s not the current state of the world (although it doesn’t help one…

Keep watching everything THEY make, and THEY’LL keep making mediocre content
I refuse to watch new trending series just to be a part of the weekly conversation on social media. I won’t have any part of it. The “one weekly episode for three to four months” is a completely outdated concept in 21st century media. Netflix killed it. Streaming companies that still do it are only…

It’ll get better… Eventually
How easy it is to finally start breathing again and keep going once you see the light at the end of the tunnel, when you can grab the rope that will help you climb out of the hole. You can be down a couple of days, or even weeks, and all that time sort of…
