If you thought Facebook memories from 'way back when' were cringe, try reading long public essays that vehemently state views that no longer resemble the person you are today.

Yikes on several bikes 😬

Why I’m Writing a Survivor’s Journal This isn’t a recovery story. It’s a survivor’s journal. My honest account of trauma, healing, and aiming for life as a contented mess.

Reflections on Heavy Metal #1 (2025) When I was younger, we didn’t talk about sex or sexuality in my house. There wasn’t any conversation about desire or attraction or even good models of what this might be. My parents got divorced aroun...

A white man with close-cropped brown hair and a light stubble leans over, his two hands holding each other, looking directly into the camera. He wears a blue denim western-style shirt. His right arm and hand have a series of floral tattoos on them.

ESSAY: @joshfrmusic.bsky.social shares his story of care, secrets, death, and acceptance–with an amazing soundtrack.

Starting up the weblog again (after 15,000 times restarting it). I have some ideas now on what I'd like to write about. Let's see if I stick to that.

For now, it's at: kindofblue.com

My DMs are always open.
Whether it’s something you felt from a post,
A thought that won’t settle,
A story you need to say out loud just once,
Or just quiet conversation about the strange weight of things.

I reply. Always.

NO KINGS DAY — Notes from an Immigrant On No Kings Day, some thoughts from an immigrant who left — and stayed gone.

I left Chicago years ago and built a life in Buenos Aires.
On No Kings Day, I found myself reflecting on immigration, home, and why I haven’t looked back.
Wrote about it here:

Only the Light It started with a headline.

Some stories wait in silence.
Not to be vindicated—
just to be seen.
This poem is for the kind of truth
that doesn’t need the spotlight.
Only the light.
