I always have a hard time getting back in to OneWord. I guess that's a bit symbolic of how I've been feeling recently: there's so much I want to do, so much that excites me, but then when it's placed in front of me and I have the opportunity to grasp it, I don't have the drive. It's unfortunate.

We spend our entire lives in front of screens. TV screens. Mobile screens. Laptop screens. Tablet screens. Have we ever stopped to think that maybe, in the middle of all that screen time, we are also setting up screens between us? At least we're not building walls. Screens can be seen-through, walls have to be broken down.

Sometimes you have to do what's best for you. Dream whatever you dream, then turn it into reality. Go on a trip. Start that family. Eat whatever you want. Often times you run out of "sometime" in the future to do what you love.

The office is constantly buzzing with activity. I have learned to block it out as I work. Actually, not sure if it's me blocking out the buzzing or if I have become dependent on it. I see people working with headphones over their ears, but ever time I try I get distracted. The buzz of the office, the buzz of activity, keeps me going. It invigorates me and helps energize.

Riding through the hills, wind whipping through his mane. He stands tall, proud to have his owner on his back; to take her wherever they please. He will protect her from whatever comes. Except that garden snake. Garden snakes are scary.

Driving down the freeway, head out the window, feeling the wind against my face. I turn around and look at them sitting next to me, happy as can be. I have no idea where we're going, but I don't care. We are on the road, heading on an adventure. My tail won't stop wagging and I wouldn't want it to; I'm happy as ever in this one moment.

Chat client. Business client. There are lots of ways to use the word "client". Honestly, I wish that there were more USEFUL chat clients that were desktop native for Mac. Such a first world problem, I know. I wish I knew how to code, build programs, so that I could create the programs and systems the way I want them to work... not the way somebody else thinks they should work.

When I feel immense emotions, it's difficult to keep myself composed. I wear my heart on my sleeve and try to keep a straight face without showing my pain, hurt, upset or fear... it doesn't seem to work very well. I'm not sure if composure is something you can learn or if it's something you are born with. Maybe it's ab it of both? Either way, I think "composed" is a state I have not yet learned.

neat

This is a word that I used to use a lot as a kid. Now it just feels like it's overused and maybe dried up a bit... Like, it's something you say when the person you're talking to thinks they are really cool and you're not really paying attention and kind of mocking them with your response. Maybe it's a different way of saying something like, "cool story, bro!"
