12/04/25 Leftovers

We all prepare for the holidays in different ways, but sharing time with loved ones can be a truly beautiful experience. Sometimes, it’s bittersweet. While we all look forward to Thanksgiving leftovers. Sometimes, the holidays change in the blink of an eye. When we lose someone we love, it’s the little things that we miss most. The pie isn’t quite the same. The holidays seem a bit more hollow when there is an empty seat. What is it like in the aftermath of what is left behind?

11/25 Half Full, Half Empty, or Just Half Assed

Are you ever the optimist? Perhaps it’s easier to see the darker side of things? Maybe, you just like to stir things up or get by with the bare minimum.

Are you ready for the holidays to take over everything, or are you the type that likes one holiday at a time?

10/30/25 Hell Week: WRATH

It boils from the depths of our being, welling up and spewing forth in hateful vengeance. The urge to wreak painful havoc can be overwhelming and, at times, well deserved. Did wrath breed wrath. Is retaliation always justified? Shall we strike in preemptive and angered fortitude? What would your wrath look like unfettered? Release the kraken of your mind and call your wrath by name.
(bonus outro song also by Nightowl)
