The ultimate test of a compatible relationship is whether you can stand to travel together.
Managed, Not Healed
For people living with chronic pain, the most destabilizing realization is not that healing is difficult. It is that healing is often not the goal. The healthcare system that surrounds them is built to manage symptoms, document persistence, and ration interventions rather than pursue restoration of function. Over time, patients begin to notice a pattern. Short-acting medications are readily available. Repeated appointments are routine. Imaging is reviewed, notes are written, and pain is acknowledged. Yet interventions aimed at resolving underlying structural problems, restoring stability, or preventing long-term degeneration are delayed, denied, or classified as optional. The system responds continuously, but it rarely moves forward.

Time
Ugh, that time of year again. Twice a year I dread these tow days. It creates upheaval and my body, as I get older, doesn’t approve. I don’t even know we are forced to hold on to something created during war time for wartime. Like any other government unposed tax, entitlement, or rule of law, once created and implemented, it’s a done deal. We are stuck with its misery. I’d rather they add a couple hours to everyday, so I can get everything I do, done, without pressure.

438 Days Adrift
José Salvador Alvarenga's impossible journey across the Pacific and the madness that nearly consumed him The survival story of José Salvador Alvarenga, a Salvadoran fisherman who spent four hundred and thirty-eight days drifting across the Pacific Ocean in a small fishing boat, represents one of the longest survival ordeals at sea ever recorded, and the physical and psychological challenges he endured during those fourteen months alone on the ocean would have killed most people many times over, yet somehow Alvarenga not only survived but remained conscious and functional enough to eventually wash ashore on a remote atoll in the Marshall Islands over six thousand miles from where his ordeal began, having crossed the entire Pacific Ocean in a twenty-four-foot fiberglass skiff with no engine, no communication equipment, and almost no supplies. Alvarenga's nightmare began on November 17, 2012, when he and a young crew member named Ezequiel Córdoba left the coast of Mexico on what was supposed to be a routine thirty-hour shark fishing trip, and they were about fifteen miles offshore when a storm struck with unexpected violence, knocking out the boat's engine and radio and sweeping their GPS and most of their supplies overboard, leaving them adrift in the open ocean with no way to navigate, no way to call for help, and no way to propel the boat back to shore.

My First Time Skiing and I Got Lost, Alone, in the French Alps. Top Story - December 2025.
Looking back, I can trace some of my life’s biggest adventures to a simple action from my sister. She’d introduced me to Tommy (a very long time ago), a colleague of hers, who had overshared his penchant for Italian-looking women, and I ticked that box.
