What I write about here comes from experience and reflection—things I’ve lived through, noticed over time, and had to sit with long enough to make sense. Often it’s about patterns I didn’t recognize right away, or assumptions I carried that no longer held up once I slowed down and looked more carefully.

The writing isn’t meant to explain anything neatly. It’s a way of working through what I’ve learned, what surprised me, and what changed as a result. Some pieces are practical. Others are quieter. All of them come from real moments rather than theory. Hoping that some of this resonates and is useful along the way.

This isn’t a place built around answers or conclusions. It’s closer to a record of noticing—of seeing how small choices, habits, and ways of thinking add up over time.

If you’d like to receive new pieces as they’re published, you can subscribe.

That’s where we begin.
