This site is an outlet. This blog and these essays are therapy. I will strive to be "a writer", but I have little perspective as to what this is worth on the web. I would really like to be able to "create content" regularly and effortlessly, but I don't know who would value the thoughts and ideas. I don't know if I have anything new or interesting enough to say, or any unique relatable way to articulate or deliver it. It seems a means to uncover deeper truths, vulnerabilities, motivations, needs, desires. I am doing this because I want to be seen, heard, and understood, my contributions recognized. Maybe it is a vanity project. Maybe it is for self "actualization" and improvement. It represent and reinforces time that spent holding, sitting-with, working-through narratives of who I am, something with which I struggle. That is, what courses of action should define me? What values should I act upon. When should I assert and insert myself in the world for a greater good? What words, actions, alliances are the most life-giving and empowering to others? Anyway, the vanity element is something to be up front about in an era of false modesty and self-effacement.
