THE whole point:

 

My goal in writing is to highlight issues we all deal with but we're afraid to talk about. This includes our shortcomings, our anxieties, our fears, anything that makes us uniquely human and beautiful.

I also like to write about the local culture of my town: sunny Gainesville, Fla.

Here you'll find a mix of essays and more straight-forward journalistic pieces, all with the goal of raising questions and sparking discussion about what it means to be alive right now.
