Good read. Sounds like a lot of civilization's discontents(myself and my wife included). Stories like these I will pass onto my being-wild-raised-son to keep in mind as he grows older as the world continues to try to suck every living thing in.

Great read, Trevor. Always inspiring to see someone on their path as someone still seeking theirs. Ironically enough, I read this from the office, though I am by no means confined to that life. Yet it still has its trappings. You are an excellent writer. I'm just here hoping 33 years old isn't too late to have not found 'it'. Keep pogoing, my dude (metaphorically or otherwise).

So good to read your journey to where you are now, thanks for this. This particularly resonated :

"Being angry and knowing what you are opposed to is an ok place to start, but it doesn’t get you far. It’s not the most fertile soil for creation. Studying the problems, and critiquing large systems can be beneficial, or it can weigh us down. The more we fixate on our defeat by tyrannical forces, the more they master us."
