So a lot has changed since the last time I decided to sit down and share my thoughts. I could keep writing about things like Cryptocurrencies, day trading, and making more money. How much do those things matter to people right now? Unfortunately, all of the profits I’ve made “in my sleep” have now been spent on toilet paper. I look around and wonder, how in the hell I got caught up in all of this.

 I’ve enjoyed the art of writing most of my life. Unfortunately, up until recently, I’ve never attempted to cultivate my love for literature and turn it into something tangible. There were times in my life where I would read anything I could get my hands on. I would produce poetry and short stories just to hide them away for reasons I did not understand at the time. Now that most of our states are in a temporary lockdown we have more time to dive into the things that we WANT to dive into.

  I have this unshakable desire to understand the world around me. Some things are in fact beyond our comprehension for the time being and that’s ok. So as I began this Quest for understanding I first had to zero in on a starting point. For weeks I looked left, right, down, up and nearly everywhere in between. Still, I could not find that point that just felt accurate. And then for reasons unknown, the world seemed to begin opening up to me. I realized my mistake and with a degree of precision corrected my course. I was looking outward for answers that just aren’t there. Without going into a lesson in philosophy I’ll only say this, things are transpiring right now as I peck at these keys that are simply Above our heads. The only version of truth and understanding that I have been able to find have been Within me. Perhaps that’s the whole point behind this unexpected time at home, to provide a moment of respite for all that need it. It is up to every one of us to decide how and what we are going to SPEND this time on. I’ve made my decision and I hope you have too.

 With that said, I intend to change course with the small platform that I’ve begun to develop. I will share the things that my partner and I are doing to keep ourselves occupied day to day or maybe week to week. Simply put, I’m going to do whatever I want, and along the way, I think I want to tell a story. Maybe the story is true… maybe not. One thing I have learned in my 33 years is that sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction. Not to mention, more entertaining. If you’re interested, stay tuned. I think there will probably be a little something for everyone found within my writing. Remember now, I am a work in progress and sometimes the world is cryptic as can be. My advice to anyone preparing for their journey is as follows…

“Believe none of what you hear… and only half of what you see”

“Stay humble”

“Critical thinking may just save your life”

And lastly, treat each other better!
