Is the point of life to live up to your potential? This week, I started watching Shameless again (the U.S. version for those who are asking). I still live at my mom’s house, and it feels like the steps I’m taking toward my future haven’t come to fruition at all yet. This effect is similar […]
On my work days, my alarm does a terrible thing. Today, it happened earlier than usual. I have a lot of things going on in my life: school, full-time work, travel plans, this blog, my creative writing pursuits, and a waning guitar hobby I’ve had since I was three. Juggling all of these has been

Choosing one niche to focus on is hard for me. My lifestyle and interests don’t fit into one thing. I’ve written about travel (and plan to again when I can get back out there), my life, inspiration, creativity, productivity, vocation, really anything I could fit in the pot. How do I balance them? Once, I

I’ve decided that my content doesn’t have to be serious. The more serious I make my newsletters, my videos, my streams, the more detached they become from who I am sometimes. I’m the kind of person who gets in his own way a lot.That sentence alone speaks to my point. On a small whiteboard in
I’m afraid of how long it’ll take to get the world in shape again Like many this year, my life has changed in lots of ways, for better, and for worse. I started school again—just paid my $4500 tuition for the first time (lookame go, Mom!). Seriously though, university has loomed ahead of me the

It’s hard to catch a grip on this spinning world. Even when one’s caught, it’s missed. Recently unemployed, a chunk from my life fell out and scattered everything with it. To put this over-the-top, I bent my shoulder climbing a counter a few days ago. It doesn’t bend nice, and I won’t be able to
Something I’m learning to do right now is how to continuously find solace in the present. I like to think of it as threading a needle. Trying to find that space, the door between the rubble, the light that ends the tunnel, threading the needle is finding the way, but to find the way, we

There was a city the size of a street corner, and a man who its people gave everything to. Citizens tumbled away their lives in shoppes, bakeries, and service centers. It was a market below and quarters above. And atop was a peasant who did nothing but to who they gave everything to. He held
Last year was full of travel: Venice, Tuscany, Croatia, Nice, Slovenia. I have footage of it all, and with the restrictions on travel right now, I’ve decided this is the best time to tell these stories. The Rest of It is my newest video series. The second video is coming out this Saturday, but you

My travel plans are canceled. Yep. Canceled.Well… basically. In a few of my videos and on the page of my blog, I’ve hinted at “BIG PLANS, coming soon ;)” These would be my travel plans: a seven-month trip around the world, where I make videos and posts about my journey. Despite all that’s happening, I
