This is post #2 of my 100-post challenge. This one is for friends interested in writing practices and musings on how they might relate to publishing online and doing regular reflections. Portland, OR Over the past half-decade I’ve had an evolving and contentious relationship with writing, note-taking, newsletters, and publishing. It’s spanned a range of apps and workflows (Apple Notes, Evernote, OneNote, Notion, Roam Research, Obsidian) and cycled through a range of habit trackers, goals, and check-in systems; all of which have come and gone.

The following are efforts I hope to contribute to over the following decades. If you’re researching, building, or excited about any of these – let’s chat!

1. combining journaling + therapy Therapy needs to be more scalable. While it can achieve amazing things, its current form generally requires money and is subject to severe 1:1 time constraints.

Socorro, NM It’s my birthday again. My second as a nomad and my first in a relationship. Some reflections on life, inspired by this past year of adventuring across the continent. Some are new learnings; others are re-discovering consistencies in life. Grateful to everyone in my life who made the past year a beautiful one and looking forward to the next one. Also very excited about no more young driver’s fee on my rentals.

It’s been amazing but I’m ready to settle down somewhere for a bit.

Dry Creek, Roseville, CA. My secluded hammock spot. My year didn’t go to plan, but then again – nobody’s did. Terrible things happened, beautiful things happened. I’m very happy with where I am and grateful for those who made it possible. I’ve done my best to make time & place the central thread, but in a parallel universe I wrote this post around words & people and it makes just as much sense.

It’s been a fascinating few weeks but full of time for writing it was not.

This world is far more beautiful and interconnected than my 16 or 20 year old self could have ever imagined. Here are a few things I’ve noticed over the years. I trust they will hold through the decades. Love 1. It all begins with and depends on and ends with love. 2. Self-love makes it possible to love others. It should always take priority. 3.
