The posts you see on this blog come from an ordinary college student who’s head might be in the clouds more often than is necessary, but who wouldn’t have it any other way. I believe in big dreams, and I think it’s ok to wish for more, so long as you are wishing for more of the right thing.

So, here is the outlet I have chosen for writing. I’ve come to a place where nothing excites me more than an interesting thought, soft lighting, a comfortable chair, and pen and paper, and I hope very much that you enjoy the things you read here.
