live a life worth writing about
More accurately... 6 months ago

I want to be worthy of history.

There is a quote from Hebrew’s 11:8 that I strive for, and it says “The world wasn’t worthy of them.” That’s the type of person I want to be. The world did not deserve them

This isn’t to say I want to be better than or see myself as better than anyone else. I’d like to do this all as humbly as possible, and maybe not even know that I’ve done something worthy of history. I might prefer to go down oblivious in history, only written about after my death. That’s fine. I need to leave a mark. I need to change the world.

Hopefully this life becomes one worth writing about, worth reading about, worth understanding.



write a personal mission statement
Light 8 months ago

I am hoping that writing a personal mission statement will help me to bring the scattered facets of my life and personality into one comprehensive thing, and help me to discover why exactly I am alive anyway.

I need something to pull me out of this rut.



Learn the reason I am here
Virginia Wesleyan College 9 months ago

I made the choice.

I came 3,000 miles to go to a small college. If I were a pessimist, I would say it was the worst decision I’ve ever made.

Maybe I’ll look at it a little different. There must be a reason I am here. Nothing happens without a reason. Every decision sends out ripples.

So why am I here?
