This blog represents my writing from age 24 to 28.
I’m 29 now. And I feel like… it’s time. (For what? Not time to say, yet 😛 )

Before chopping a fruit or vegetable, look up the best way to deal with it.
I always seek out video instructions on how to chop things.
For example, here’s the best way to chop a bell pepper.
Al-Anon and other twelve-step programs seem to require faith in “God.”
For example, step three is:
“Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.”
Since God doesn’t exist, how can anyone take a twelve-step program seriously?
Here’s my solution.
I use “God” as shorthand for higher powers, plural. This lets me embrace the program without deluding myself.
