Here is another post on masculinity that you never asked for.
Yeah I’m a dude. Many of my dude friends like to play sports, shoot guns, work on cars, go camping and build stuff. Sometimes, when we run into a mat out somewhere, we will start wrestling one another for no apparent reason. These are dude things, but this is not what makes a man. I…

What am I going to do with all these realizations?
In 2022 I’ve had many eye opening experiences. When I was in LA for a video shoot I realized that anyone is capable of bringing change into this world, but how do I change to prepare myself? Through the loss of my dear grandmother and several friends, the inevitability of my own death makes me…

Waves
Life is seldom steady. With the ebb and flow of positive and negative experiences, I often struggle to find consistency in my mental state. At times feeling immensely empowered by accomplishing the smallest of tasks, and conversely dreading the idea of giving up a few meters before finishing a metaphorical marathon.

When it is all said and done, what now?
Whether it be the end of a project you’ve been working on or a journey you have set yourself to, what does one do when they finish? The final step in a paper, story, or a movie for that matter, is to write the conclusion. People think that the end of their degree is the…

The means to the end.
I am convinced that the smartphones of today are the most impactful piece of technology to our society. It can be a powerful tool or a bottomless pit. Recently I’ve been questioning the concept of productivity and what being productive really means. I haven’t really been getting paid for the work I do, causing my…
