Don’t get stuck in an outdated timeline

Cosmic Catalogue

Regardless of which corner of the globe you’re reading this in, there is no denying we are in a dramatically different timeline. In many ways, we’ve lived so lifetimes in these past five years that 2019 seems like an eternity ago.

It seems that people have become ideologically captured, emotionally dysregulated, and completely disconnected from their souls. This isn’t their fault; it’s been designed this way. Some people will stay in pre-2019 reality, while others will move on to new timelines.

This is where the greatest obstacle and the greatest gift of this particular era lie: when everything feels so fractured, broken, and hopeless when the idea of burning it all down feels more satisfying than repairing, when apathy feels easier than hope and hard work. When all hope is gone, that’s when you have to shine brighter in order to light up the dark.

This week presents some subtle opportunities to find hope and inspiration through our words. Words create realities, so if you find yourself reaching for content in contempt, reach for a better thought and a better word and share that.

Real connections in real life and online start with words of hope rather than cynicism.

A variety of fears

One of the TV talk shows I was watching recently discussed fears. The comment was made that we outgrow most childhood fears, but some remain. Fear of the dark is a common one when you are young. I remember a night light solved that problem for me. My bedroom door was left open, and there…

‘Friendship’ is not for the faint of heart

May 28, 2025
Forming a new friendship with someone in your 40s is challenging enough; try doing it if you’re an introvert. Writer/director Andrew DeYoung’s comedy “Friendship” is a hilariously dark look at male bonding with a leading performance from Tim Robinson that audiences won’t soon forget.  Where to begin with this movie? I guess, for starters, a…
