Failing Boldy.

Purpose

A platform to share my thoughts.

Writing about my ideas, experiences, and curiosities to broadcast my voice, connect to others who have shared experiences, and engage in dialogue with people of all perspectives, whether like-minded or at odds. Everyone’s experiences have value. By sharing them, others who have gone through, or will go through, similar events may find solace, laughter, or insight in hearing another person’s thoughts and feelings as they navigate the same challenges.

Background

26 year-old male living in in Northern California. Born into an affluent family in small, rural Connecticut town, where privilege and kind parents afforded me the opportunity to receive private education from first grade through high school and have my University education fully funded. This unearned advantage long led me to believe that there would always be an asterisk on my successes and that my experiences were not worth sharing; but everyone has something to offer, no matter how small it is perceived to be, that may make just one other person feel a little less alone and a little more empowered to go after what they want.

  • Everyone in the world is the best in the world at something.

    We are all completely unique. This means that each one of us brings something unique to the table and each of us contains a piece of the puzzle. Using this logic we can infer that each person possesses some skill in which they are the best in the world, even if that skill is immeasurably nice. It could be creating paper art using recycled materials, organizing tiny bookshelves extremely efficiently, finding the best (but most obscure) movie references for any occasion, or communicating complex ideas to children.

    Everyone in the world has something.
