Another year of looking at progress and setting intentions for the incoming year
Ode to Costa Rica
I miss Envision. I miss Costa Rica. Here is a little letter to all those who feel the same. I have a ticket for next year as well, and I expect that will continue.
Time Capsule
I wrote myself a letter, ten and a half years ago. This photo is about from that time too. Funny how things come together. Big love to all our journeys. May they be fruitful.
Make Mistakes
Life is tough and nobody is perfect. I have seen that perfectionism drives behavior, especially given things like social media, virtue signaling, and how to find a purpose in your life. I’m here to say, the only true way to figure that shit out, is by doing, failing, and starting again. In this time of idealizing perfection, resist the urge to step back and step forward. Mistakes are vital experiences, and you should look towards eating them until you’ve had your fill. It is the only way.
2022 In Review
Another year, another review. Big gratitude for all of the parts of my life, including you if you have been here at all. Please enjoy looking back on the progress of making me!
Tower of Babel
Climbing the tower of the Church of Our Saviour in Copenhagen completed a sidequest bestowed upon me by my friends in Kalmar. The journey was well worth it, and I had some interesting interactions with multiple international tourists. The accumulation of events echoed ideas of the Tower of Babel in my mind.

Amass

In Pursuit of Excellence
A repost of an old piece, but it resonates with me now. I am trying my best at the individual things, putting together the pieces of my life, and trying to not only achieve but excel. It is a challenge, every minute of every day. But I feel worthwhile of the effort.
2021 in Review
That was an interesting one for sure. Happy New Year everyone. Great Tidings to you and the person you want to become. Here is the final blog post of 2021, where I examine latest year of my life, the years that came before, and the year that is to come. Big love, and see you in 2022
The seasons change, and with it comes a difficult time. I least I can write about it. This and one more post for 2021 to wrap up the year
29 is a bad birthday
A bit of a write up of a pretty difficult and memorable year. I’m blessed and happy to have what I have, but no lie, 28 was a challenge.
Regression
A recount of the accident that changed the course of my life. It was a horrific experience, and though I am still in the growth phase, I hope that I can continue to get better.
The Three Body Problem
Reviewing the Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu. 4.5/5, a phenomenal science fiction book. It reminds us all of the contradictions of humanity. The good, the bad, the amazing, and the failures. Really great read, highly recommend. It’s also a serious.
