Sometimes I feel like a broken record, that I continuously repeat myself, that each of these musings always return to the same concluding thought, each woven with the same thread, tying them together in what I aspire is a complete tapestry of my thoughts, my desires. Although, I think I’m really like a dragon who is just obsessed with one jewel, and thus my musings are my observations of beholding different facets of my fascination, my muse. Unfortunately, if I am repeating myself, if I am ...

Lewis, of blessed memory, who once said, “Nothing that you have not given away will ever really be yours.” Like everything else I do, I strategically chose such a ...
What’s New
Well, here we are! Yes, this is it. This is all I've been leading up to for the post month and longer. While at a first glance it might not seem like a lot, what you'll soon come to find in the next few days, weeks, and hopefully months are the steps I'm taking in pursuing this career of writing full-time. (For more information on what I mean by this, check out my more in-depth post here.) That said, here's what's new and what will be coming in the near future: New self-hosted ...
