What you will find

Some of these posts are papers, essays, and otherwise research I did for academic reasons, but am passionate about nonetheless. Others are commentary on current world events I feel need to be spoken on, and perhaps future essay topics. Finally, there are a few poems and otherwise artistic pieces.

  • Our Forgotten Teachings

    What we teach children but do not learn ourselves September 28th, 2023 It is so silly that we teach our children to be kind, to share, to tell the truth, when we, as adults, do not do the same. What a beautiful world it would be if children carried these teachings into adulthood. If we…
