To write my ideas.
Saying this so frankly is vulnerable: I allow insecurity to prevent me from sharing the deepest parts of myself with others.
There are a variety of reasons that I have started and stopped posting my writing - I worried about what others will think or, even worse, that nobody will care; I felt my writing lacked a coherent theme such as travel, health or stories; or I felt a public website had to have a particular goal such as establishing a side business. However, my purpose in publishing here is simple: putting my words out into the ether provides me with a perceived sense of accountability and, therefore, urges me to write.
So, here we are. This website houses a series of short essays which are very likely to span many topics from backpacking and hiking, to our perception of the world, to philosophy and likely some personal recollections about events that have transpired in my own life. If you find some joy, usefulness or relatability in the words here, I am delighted that’s the case. If you could care less, that’s ok too.
