Welcome
Welcome to my personal site. The purpose of this site is to create an expressive and creative outlet to share my story and my thoughts about life.
This site is intended to replace the superficial and performative direct experience of Facebook and other social media, for myself and for any potential audience, with a platform and space that is more authentic and personal.
In subsequent areas of the site, you will find information about me and things I’m interested in, similar to what I might share on a social media platform. If you’re looking for a place to begin, I suggest starting with the News Feed.
Thank you for visiting. Please feel free to leave a comment or drop me a direct line. I hope you have a wonderful day!

About ME
I created this site because I found myself and my relationship with social media to be a problem. My use of an intermediary for relating to others created distance and a sense of performance that doesn’t feel authentic. Additionally, I have become more conscious about what I get from social media and sharing on those platforms. In my judgment, I get a false sense of community from participating with those platforms because they have become outrage machines, driven by corrupt algorithms which favor clicks and engagement over substance and value.
I can’t blame the algorithms entirely, however, as they would be ineffective if people stopped participating. So, I’ve made the logical choice to shift my mental model of interacting with the world from social platforms to my own page, and this is it.
Over the coming weeks and months, I hope to transform this site into a beautiful space where I feel more at home than I ever did on social media, and get to share more freely, unencumbered by fear and judgment over who might be offended or upset by what I want to say. I’m taking responsibility, and finding creative outlets for myself. Hopefully, I can create something you will enjoy as well.
