unleashing a new era


When he was alive, Great Grandpa George would often look carefully at me and say he wondered what thoughts were running through that mind of mine. Even since childhood, I’ve guarded my incessant flood of thoughts quite cautiously.


I've carried that guarded tendency throughout my life, including across the pages of this blog. Within this whirlwind of recent growth in my life though, I’ve been gaining confidence in myself and longed to better unleash my identity, complete with all its imperfections.


So, I'm entering a bit of a new era, encouraging myself to be more candid in revealing who I am.
