I’ve been writing since I was a kid: short stories, poems, fiction, nonfiction, essays, journaling, streaming consciousness. Nothing notable, just indulging my love for drama and having lots of fun.

In 2025, I challenged myself to write and share more personal essays online. My primary goals in doing so are to:

1. elucidate my thinking through writing
2. discover and be more authentically myself in the public sphere
3. become a more skilled writer

Some of my published personal essays live in my newsletter, confessions of a fig gobbler.

Pieces shared so far:

• tomorrow is my late friend’s birthday
• what trying to grow feels like
• confessions of a fig gobbler
• why hinge is more romantic than your meet cute
• friday night on the one train
• jalen hurts: hot because he’s good or good because he’s hot?
• tapping out of tokyo
• 5am today was unholy
