When I sit down and write my goal is to be honest with myself and express my truth. It could be the truth of what I’m feeling, the truth of a moment or memory from the past, or the truth of an idea that for some reason resonates with me. Writing forces me to think hard about that truth and document what it really is, both the simplicity and complexity of it. I’ve spent too much time in my life trying to be clever or witty and it’s never really worked. Now I just go for truth and that feels right.

I also have a blog where I publish monthly posts and have been doing so since 2018. The practice and process of blogging consistently has been huge for me. It's educational and therapeutic. It's become one the most meaningful personal projects of my life.

On Medium I'm looking to put my writing out there a bit more and hopefully connect with other writers and readers. My plan is to take my favorite blog posts and refine them to the point where I'm excited about sharing them more widely, and that's what I'm presenting to you here. Thanks for reading!
