⌛The Year of Timeliness

What is time, and how do I actually use it? I spent substantial portions of this year evaluating time and my relationship to it, and, as with any sufficiently nuanced prompt, I'm left with more questions than answers. Fortunately, part of this year has also been about learning

🎙️ (Un)productive Hobbies

The arc of my life, in terms of productivity, is a strange one. I think I've been missing something along the way. A comfortable upbringing found me apathetic, happy enough with average grades and better than average friendships that I felt little ambition to really try. Then I

⋰ Forward, Back, Left, Right...Diagonal

Last night, I raised a glass with a friend. Catching odd inspiration, I ordered a Sazerac. I must say, it felt cool to order. Sure, "I'll have a beer" is fine, but "Hmm, how's your Sazerac?" Sublime. And it tasted darn good,

🔋 Memorials & Purpose

I am here because others are not. I must move forward because others cannot. This swirled through my mind during the minute of silence on Memorial Day, while I listened to the wind whipping through the flags around me. This reality gives me purpose. It gives me strength. It gives
