Self Pity has a place in life…but must come to an end in order to move forward.

Who I Was & Who I Am
What I wanted at 25 is a far cry from what I want at almost 40. Not saying that it “wasn’t what I truly wanted,” actually, it was…at least it was then. I stumbled upon a mentor and took his advice…and it made me into the person…no…it made me into the professional I am today. But…
And Then I Woke Up
After a slew of let downs, I can’t deny that my outlook has been a bit bleak. I want so terribly to believe in myself…my future…my goals…but let downs can yield a devastating blow. Then I woke up. Literally. I woke this morning knowing that let downs aren’t going to stop me from pursuing, and…
Meditation & Marijuana
There really isn’t a better combination than meditation & marijuana…actually, it’s the other way around.

I observe things differently in these states. I have found these moments when sober…but they are fleeting and seem…
This is Blowing My Mind
Just saw a post on History.com’s Facebook page about a newly discovered planet, similar to earth, only a few light years away. I like astronomy…at times I’m fascinated by it…but not enough to really geek out on it. Not that this wouldn’t be pretty mind blowing when sober…but I am presently stoned and just can’t…
A Chance Encounter
I recently met a man who emailed me through Facebook. I figured he was just trying to get to know me…then I realized something greater. Within 2 minutes of our chat, he told me he was a woman trapped in a man’s body and was debating transitioning from man to woman. My reply was simply,…
Jungian Inspiration
Once again I have found inspiration from Carl Jung. “His” Facebook Page is an overthinker’s dream…pun totally intended. Oh…and you can now follow us on Instagram @thesentimentalstoner
