Why This Site Exists

There’s no shortage of voices online—some loud, some hollow, some worth hearing. I don’t pretend mine is more important than anyone else’s.


But I do believe in honest thinking, straight talk, and the value of writing things down.

This site is a place for my thoughts—on life, on faith, on politics, on the strange and often contradictory world we live in. Some posts will be reflective. Others might poke the bear. Either way, I’m not here to echo the algorithm. I’m here to say what I mean and hopefully give you something to think about.


If you’re a college student trying to sort out your path, I’ve created a space here just for you. You’ll find practical advice, maybe a little tough love, and hopefully the kind of perspective that comes from experience, not just theory.


But this site isn’t a classroom. It’s a conversation. So whether you agree, disagree, or land somewhere in between, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s think out loud—together.
