Death
While I statistically have much life yet ahead of me, I have been inspired by meaningful phrases such as “memento mori” and the works of many classical philosophers to confront my own mortality early on. The aforementioned influences, along with Dr. Irvin D. Yalom’s book Staring at the Sun, have left a significant, distinctive mark on my writing and I owe my existential awareness and creativity to them.
After almost enrolling as a Philosophy and Religion major in college, I have been deeply intrigued by the bigger questions of life, including faith and God (at one point, almost joining Seminary). Coming up in a Nondenominational household, a strictly Southern Baptist K-8 school, and then a Catholic high school, I have learned to wrestle with my faith and allow it to evolve. Now somewhere within the hopeful agnostic sphere, I write about doubt, hope, feeling misplaced in religion, and learning that faith is less about the rigid black-and-white and more about the evolutionary grey between it all.
