Surviving the Wreckage and Finding What Remains
Two weeks.
Sometimes life doesn’t just throw a curveball; it takes your van and turns it into a total loss at an intersection in the Michigan gray.
I’ve spent the few weeks quietly putting things back together after a serious car accident. If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, that’s the short version. But there’s a longer, harder story about what happens when you go to the impound yard to clear out the wreckage, and the only thing left of any real value isn’t yours at all—it’s your late father’s old Columbia jacket, sitting right there on the floorboard beneath the deployed airbags.
This week, we’re talking about what it means to stare down 52, wonder if you’ve been handed a second chance, and realize you’re just too damn stubborn to stop.
There’s no music on this one until the credits. No neat bows. Just a raw, continuous conversation about survival, memory, and the work of keeping moving forward.
