That was fast. We're here, now.

So, that was fast.

I don't plan to live a life looking back, stuck in nostalgia goggles, but the more the years roll on the more I want to have tinier indulgences rather than feeling captivated by my consumption and force-fed a synthesized life.

I think advertisements are where I'll start with my minimalism.

My tiny human is now an adult. My career is mid-stride.
My list of *friends* is vastly smaller than it ever was before, and it is vastly more intense, and for this, I am grateful.

I came out the other end of that 2019-2024 jump a very different man, richer in most senses but just as wistful.

A man on my Amtrak train was excited to explain "Eastern vs Western thinking" in geopolitics, with veneration of European colonization, and Russia's rehabilitation. He was better read on the subject than I was but the longest story short I still don't trust ANY 'Christian' expansion to be equitable.

My life feels like I've been racing, like we've all been racing, for all of our existence. My world feels like it's all converging, like our history is coming to some crescendo.

Hello, World!
