“Hey there — thanks for reaching out to Never Have I Had the Urge! Your message is safe with me. Can’t wait to read your story.”

In this episode, I reflect on something that’s easy to overlook when it’s all you’ve ever known — the quiet ways dysfunction can start to feel familiar… even comforting.

I talk about how we learn to live inside patterns that no longer serve us, how chaos can disguise itself as normal, and how recognizing those patterns isn’t about blame — it’s about awareness.

This episode isn’t a judgment.
It’s a pause.
A moment to ask why certain things feel safe, even when they hurt.

Because sometimes, the hardest urge to confront
is the urge to stay.

🎧 Never Have I Had the Urge is a one-man storytelling podcast about reflection, restraint, and the quiet choices that shape who we become.

“Hey there — thanks for reaching out to Never Have I Had the Urge! Your message is safe with me. Can’t wait to read your story.”

For most people, marriage can be a milestone in life. It offers many beautiful opportunities. For others, it's something worth pausing to explore before taking that walk down the aisle.

In this episode, I take a reflective look at marriage - where it began, how it evolved, and what it has come to represent today. From survival and structure, to religion and tradition, to modern expectations shaped by culture, media, and the state.

This isn't an argument against marriage. It's an honest conversation about choice, intention, and why - after a lifetime of relationships, observation, and reflection - I've never felt the urge to get married.

Whether marriage is part of your story or not, this episode invites you to slow down, think critically, and decide what commitment really means to you.

Before moving forward, I wanted to pause.

This episode is a reflection on the first season of Never Have I Had the Urge—not as a recap, but as a conversation with who I was when these stories were recorded.

We walk through reflection, gratitude, learning, and hope, revisiting the moments that shaped the beginning of this podcast. From taking the leap to start, to recognizing the shared humanity in everyday urges, to learning what doubt can teach us, and finally to the perspective that comes from survival and hope.

This episode also includes the original pilot episode in its entirety—the place where this journey began.

Thank you for listening, for being here, and for walking through this first season with me. More stories are coming in 2026.

Wishing you a warm and peaceful holiday season.
