Well. Hello There!

Welcome to The Story of Us Project.

Damn glad to meet you.

You are part of a story that began long before you…

and will continue long after.

This is a space for exploring what it means to be human – from the birth of the Universe to the life you’re living right now.

Most of us move through life without ever stopping to ask:

What is this, really?

Not just the surface-level answers.
Not productivity. Not success.

But the deeper questions—
the ones that sit quietly underneath everything.

Why are we here?
What makes a life meaningful?
And how do we live, knowing it all eventually ends?

The Story of Us Project is an exploration of those questions—
through science, philosophy, and lived experience.

Not to give you answers.
But to help you feel more oriented inside your own life.

The Two People I’m Trying to Make Proud…

It goes something like this: There are only two people in this world you need to make proud: the eight-year-old version…

The Stranger at the Door

Guess what? Jessica and I went to see a movie at an actual movie theater recently. That probably wouldn’t have been worth writing twenty-five years ago. Back then, going to the theater was just something we did – all the time. I fondly remember entire Sunday afternoons spent in the dark, paying for one show…

There is No “Them” – The Stories That Make Us Human

If you’re like me, you can FEEL the contempt in the air. And I use that word “contempt” specifically – not hate, not vitriol but… utter contempt.  Contempt is much more destructive and more aligned with the current state of humanity. It’s this idea that a person, or a group, or an idea is so…

Once a week, I write about something I can’t quite shake—
a thought, a question, or a realization
about what it means to be here.

Slower than social media.
More personal than the podcast.

Something to return to when the noise fades.

No noise. No spam. Just something to read and reflect on about once a week.
