This blog documents my individual evolution from my past self to the person I am evolving into. Whether you stumbled upon this site randomly or received the link, I extend a warm personal welcome to you. Even if you’re familiar with me, there’s a chance I’ve never shared my story with you. It might be surprising, and my hope is that it provides you with a deeper insight into my identity. Overall, it’s a narrative of growth, encountering obstacles, yet in the face of challenges, I’ve discovered the importance of not taking myself too seriously and finding humor in the absurdities of life.

One of my friends loves karaoke, and while I personally hate it, there’s one song that resonates with me – “I Will Survive.” It may seem cliché, but it’s a representation of who I am. I’ve survived childhood trauma, two bad marriages, estrangements from loved ones, career setbacks due to injury, loss of family and friends, financial insecurity, and even a crisis of faith.

As M. Scott Peck once wrote, “Life is difficult.” But through it all, I’ve learned to be a survivor, and I hope that sharing my story can inspire others to do the same.
