With food on the brain, I wanted to look at a brief period in my life where I wasn't sure when my next meal was going to come about. It was actually not too long ago, when I was traveling with the goddess and we ended up landing in New Mexico for a spell, specifically working at a work exchange hostel that turned out to be a bit more intense than anticipated, yet also filled with many lessons.

A common talking point among many Trump supporters (and the current President himself on more than a few occasions) about why they like/tolerate him usually revolves around the economy. In the last few months, I’ve read copious articles where someone essentially says “Well, Trump may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the economy is doing so well with him.” But if you want to find out why this is not necessarily a good talking point, you’ll need to read the rest of the article on Medium by clicking this link, the image or the title.

As I mentioned in my first blog post, part of why I’m writing about and sharing details of my past travels, dealings with family and what inspires me is because I’m trying to make sense of my life thus far, trying to understand what inspired to take the path of a writer/poet.

It’s easy to see what inspires a person, but it’s much more challenging to understand why and how a person is inspired by such things. In my first blog post, I emphasized how I felt as though my life, up until this point, hasn’t made much sense. Having said that, several guiding principles have grown to become constants throughout a large portion of my life. These guides are also what influence a decent amount of my writing as well.

“Janus said to hurry up.”
This is one of the earliest sentences I remember writing. It’s also one of my earliest memories. I don’t remember if it was in fourth or fifth grade, but I do remember this writing assignment where everyone in the class had to write a story using indirect speech. This meant quoted dialogue had to peace out, instead having to write as if someone was reporting, or watching the events unfold.
