A Balancing Act

“When a man is prey to his emotions, he is not his own master.”
~ Baruch Spinoza

Profound Revelations

“The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
~ Troy (2004)

Uncertainty is something I’ve never handled well; in fact, uncertainty is one of my biggest fears. However recently in the last month, life has taught me to embrace it with open arms, turning something uncomfortable and consuming into something powerful and beyond words. There is a peculiar beauty in uncertainty, something only a conscious mortal can truly comprehend; this revelation has given me a new found appreciation for the unknown.

Hello World!

My first blog post.

To be honest, I don’t even know what brought me to this moment. I had been thinking about making a blog for a long time, but I never really wanted to be “that guy” who tries to be super-hip and posts pictures of his tea….until I realized I am that guy who posts pictures of his tea. So yeah; welcome to my blog.
