like lots of kids when I was young had questions about existence—but when I inquired about things such as why I had to go to church, why I couldn’t eat candy before breakfast, or why money had to be used to obtain everything, I was often met with the typical responses adults give: “Because I said so,” “That’s just the way things are,” or “That’s the way we’ve always done it.” These answers didn’t deter me; instead, they made me more restless for the truth. At the grand age of five, I declared, “I’m going to find out all the secrets to this world”—a rabbit hole I have been going down ever since. If you are a seeker who digs deep into hidden meanings, questions the reasons behind things, or has always felt that what is normalized by the world is somehow off, then you are in the right place. Through my writing, I seek to dismantle surface-level thinking and expose unseen patterns of how inner truth shapes the world we experience and the interconnectedness of everything.
