Depression and darkness can scar you forever. We see that throughout life and pop culture. But they can also force you into new depths of “fuck it mentality,” where you’re willing to try anything and everything. You can use that agony to become completely open, completely teachable, and rise to heights you never dreamed of.…

To learn from my past, I ponder fault and blame, triumph and victory. But to excel in the present, I only focus on doing my best, and how in the end, everything will turn out better than I can imagine. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle. Vol. 2 on Kindle here: Vol.2 on…

My audience isn’t professors or critics, judges or academics, grammarians or literature experts. I write for that younger version of myself that took visceral pleasure in the hero’s journey, and every peak and valley that went along with it. That’s enough for me.

It’s easy to forget the inherent absurdity in everything we do. We’re tiny dots of meat on a spinning ball of dirt in a dark reach of nothing. But ironically, acknowledging that absurdity allows me to make sense of my nonsensical life. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle. Vol. 2 on Kindle here:…

Faith isn’t just declaring that everything happens for a reason, but actually living by those words. Digging deep into failures and triumphs and looking for information, no matter how much I’m tempted to dismiss each occurrence as a reflection of my worth. To not just drift through a bevy of clues, but to actively USE…
