If you’ve spent any time reading here, or if you just know me, you know I’m not much for small talk or surface-level observations. I’ve spent most of my life trying to find a pattern in the noise. Mostly, it just looks like noise to me, but I’ve tried to sort it out the best I can. I don’t have any answers; most of this is just me trying to work out those answers for myself.
I’ve tried to bring some order to the chaos here, however. These pieces were originally written and posted from the bottom up, raw, stream-of-consciousness, and often in the middle of it.
I’m aware that chronological order isn’t always the most functional for those just arriving, so I’ve broken my writing into four categories. You can find your way through the links below. Or if you would like to read the post as originally written, you can do so here.
