“The perilous time for the most … is not youth, the perilous season is middle age, when a false wisdom tempts them to doubt the divine origin of the dreams of their youth.”

I am at a contemplative point in my life. I have been alive long enough, there’s a lot to look back on. I’ve done a lot of things right and many more wrong. I have great stories. I’ve had amazing luck and tough breaks. I’ve had come ups and set backs. I am loved by amazing people and I love and admire them too.
I am grateful.
Chasing dreams is risky business. Unstable, chaotic, and amazing all at once. I am all in on living the life I dreamed about when I wasn’t paying attention in class. Just a storyteller. A performer. I just want to be the channel of imagination for people the way storytellers and performers did for me. Wish me luck.
