Hang on! One more day till the weekend! Here comes item #1 on my “ToDo List”: (You can use these symbols: ☐✅).
How I Live Now
A Short Personal Manifesto
I choose to live one day at a time, doing the small, ordinary things that make today successful. I eat simply, care for my body, and keep my commitments. I ground myself in stillness and integrity rather than chasing relief, certainty, or spectacle.
I walk forward without needing a guarantee. I build my life on what I can do today, and I stay open to what I cannot predict. I allow opportunities to reveal themselves as I move, knowing that some will matter and some will not—and that this is enough.
I choose character over performance. Service over display. Restraint over spectacle. I do not need to impress to be worthy, and I do not participate in what feels hollow, even when it is socially acceptable.
I let my nervous system learn safety through consistency. I refuse to renegotiate my values based on mood, fear, or fantasy. Improvement is allowed; abandonment is not.
I dream without fixation. I hold hope lightly. I do not turn another person, a future event, or a miracle into the meaning of my life. If love comes, I will meet it honestly and as an equal. If it does not, my life remains coherent, ethical, and mine.
I accept that extraordinary things sometimes happen, and I live in a way that does not require one. I stay open to what I can’t explain, while I build my days on what I can.
I move toward long-term aims—care for my family, service and charity, stewardship of resources—one step at a time, without rushing the ending. I live so that if I were to die today, or years from now, I would know that the truest version of me lived as well as he could at the end.
I walk forward. I keep my integrity. I see what opens. And I let life meet me where I am.

📋Additional Daily Notes
I woke up at 11:28 a.m., the kind of late morning that doesn’t feel indulgent so much as uncertain. I didn’t know whether I was done sleeping or just pausing between dreams. I stayed sitting up in bed for a while, not reaching for my phone, not rushing anywhere. Just thinking.
I found myself thinking about my role now. About how my life seems oriented around my kids—helping my son and daughter find their footing, teaching them how to build lives that don’t crush them, passing along whatever hard-earned wisdom I have. The thought wasn’t tragic. It didn’t feel like giving up. It just felt… factual. Like this is the chapter I’m in.
When I zoom out and think about people who have endured truly horrific lives—abuse survivors, people raised in war zones, children harmed by adults—my own suffering takes its proper scale. It mattered. It hurt. But it wasn’t singular or cosmic. Acceptance doesn’t erase pain, but it does quiet the fight against reality.
I checked on my YouTube short. About 154 views. No surge. No “Universe winking at me.” Just a number. A data point. And honestly, that was fine. There was a time when I would have read meaning into that—hope or rejection or signs. Today it just felt like information.
Later in the afternoon, my leg felt a little better. Not great—just better enough. So I took my son and daughter out for a drive. We went down to the Goose Spit and back. Nothing ambitious. Just movement, scenery, being together.
We stopped at McDonald’s. My son decided on fries and an ice cream cone. My daughter wanted a lemonade. I ordered a black coffee. The normalcy of it all felt grounding.
After dropping my son off at home, my daughter and I went out again—another short drive. She talked. Not dramatically. Just honestly.
I ended up back at McDonald’s this evening. Another coffee. Rain tapping against the windows. I opened my laptop and watched a Jim Carrey video where he talks about why intelligent people often feel alone—not intelligence as grades or test scores, but intelligence as seeing through the masks, the matrix, the performative nature of the world (see photo to the right). It resonated more than I expected.
I’ve always typed myself as an INFJ, and while Jim Carrey is usually described as an ENFP, the overlap felt real. Mirror types. Same depth, different direction. Same sensitivity to illusion, meaning, identity. I thought about how easy it is for ideas like that to become dangerous—especially for someone young and already feeling different. Loneliness can be a phase, not a destiny.
I looked around me. A quiet McDonald’s at night. Warm light. Rain outside. A table, a laptop, a cup of coffee. Not loneliness exactly. More like chosen solitude. Rest.
Today I adjusted to my body instead of fighting it.
I listened instead of fixing.
I remembered what my daughter likes.
I stayed present—twice.
Some days, that’s enough.
Tonight, it genuinely feels like it is.
