Lately, whenever I think about the past, it doesn’t bring me peace. It brings this ache—a longing so sharp it cuts through the moment I’m in. I start remembering better days, or at least days I think were better. And then I feel sad. Guilty. Stuck. Like I’ve left something unfinished back there.

But the past doesn’t want me.

There’s this old Twilight Zone episode called The Trouble with Templeton. An aging actor named Booth Templeton misses his younger days—his wife, his friends, his golden years. One day, he steps back into the past and finds them all again. But something’s wrong. They’re cold, dismissive, even cruel. And just before he’s pushed back into his own time, he finds a script in his pocket titled What to Do When Templeton Returns.

Turns out they weren’t really being mean. They were acting—deliberately driving him away. Why? Because he didn’t belong there anymore.

That story stuck with me.

Sometimes I feel like my past is doing the same thing. Every time I try to crawl back into it—through old photos, regrets, or daydreams—it doesn’t welcome me. It beats me up. It pushes me away. Maybe that’s not cruelty. Maybe it’s mercy.

The past served its purpose. It gave me lessons, memories, and wounds that healed into wisdom. But it doesn’t need me anymore. And I don’t need to live there.

I belong here. In this moment. In what I do next.

Chapter 4: Jealousy vs. Envy

In a magical kingdom far away, a wise king summoned Jealousy and Envy. He was tired of the harm they caused and wanted to teach them how to find happiness in others' joy rather than misery in comparison.

When they arrived, the king made them an extraordinary offer. “I will grant each of you one wish,” he said. “You may ask for anything your heart desires, and if it is within my power, it shall be yours. However, whatever you wish for, the other will receive double.”

After a long, tense silence Envy said, “Oh King, I wish for you to pluck out one of my eyes.”

This is the true, destructive nature of Jealousy and Envy. They cannot bear to see anyone else have more. They poison everything they touch, turning even a blessing into a curse.

They would rather harm themselves, than do something positive if it prevents others from getting something better than them.

These two forces can never be satisfied. They are never grateful, always hungry to take from others, and in the process, they destroy themselves. The king’s offer could have given them anything—wealth, health, happiness—but their hatred for the other’s success was too much to bear.

Let this be a warning: never allow Jealousy or Envy to take root in your heart. They will turn it into a wasteland. Celebrate your own blessings, no matter how small, and take joy in the success of others. Gratitude and generosity will make your heart flourish.

The only reason we should look at a neighbor’s bowl is to make sure they have enough

Dexter and WeMe are ok. I had to relinquish ownership because there was no way I could take care of them while in prison. Now that I'm homeless and unemployed, it really is the best thing for them. If I love them, I have to let them go.

They're probably going to be adopted by a nice family here in a nice, comfortable home. I'm fu***ng jealous if I'm being completely honest. Those lucky sons of bi***es!!! It's cold AF out here on the streets of Juneau!!! LOL

In the past month, I've been attacked by people who live in Lemon Creek, bear sprayed in my face, beaten and robbed. I just got out of jail this week - I spent 13 days in isolation, and a total of 3 weeks in jail.

Someone took my wallet and went on a shopping spree so now I'm extremely negative in my bank account, and I have to go through a whole process with the fraud department.

My keys to my truck are with someone, and all I'm asking is if you have my wallet, or my truck keys (2014 Nissan Frontier - which is now in the impound lot), could you please drop it off at the police station?

Because I no longer have my ID's or my phone (it also has been stolen), I can't get into my email account and I have to use the public library to access my Facebook account.

I'll try my best to check this account once a day or every other day.

I know that this is not a reflection on the people or the culture here. I just ran into a few bad apples. I'm not angry or upset. I understand. There are so many good people here. I've met them. Just stay away from Lemon Creek at night. It's not safe.
