Thank you for writing down your thoughts and sharing them with us! I always enjoy reading them and appreciate your style, flare, and honesty that come out as you connect our lives to God's word.
I'm glad you got from where you were to where you are today, Jason. Yeah, life's a journey, and sometimes life's a bitch, but always life's a gift from God whether we know it or not. I'm glad that you now know that, and now your life's also a blessing for those around you.
It was a process. But, as our Rabbi says, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions."
Status is itself a kind of possession and greed for it crops up in unexpected ways.
As someone who ruined not one high school but two for myself, this post is healing for my inner teenager. My embarrassing riches of grace allow me to extend grace to that struggling little poser, the squares, and this generation’s renditions of the same. I marvel that I would not have been friends with the friends I have now, a sign of blessed maturity and again, grace.
This type of writing doesn’t spew forth from AI but from soul-searching and reframing cringe through the lens of peak comedy, so thank you for the work you’re doing. Keep going.

Aw shucks. Ya makin' me blush. [Seriously, though. Thanks for commenting. It makes the writing and painful self-disclosure worth it.]
Echo and the Bunnymen was had some catch tunes, but man that video did not age well.
But I thought of you as more of a Flock of Seagulls fan.
Thanks for these posts. I appreciate the humor and the perspective.
Flock of Seagulls?! What do you take me for? A Poser? :-)
But for a video that did not age well, few things could top this New Order vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfI1S0PKJR8
That was worth every minute. I think they foreshadowed the absurdity of Capital City from the Hunger Games. What social commentary, what insight!
