What’s the thing?

When I was eighteen and graduated from high school, I used to think that the thing was a question or big achievement that was important to figure out, so that I could begin my pursuit as soon as possible, accomplish it, and then progress to the next thing. Like a lot of kids out of high school, I thought I had it figured out.

But as it turns out in life, the thing is not so defined, and that the figuring it out was going to take a lot longer than I could have ever imagined.

Today, I’m twenty-four and going about life just trying to take it all in. I’ve shot hundreds of photographs of sentiment and story, and have filled dozens of journals with ideas, lessons, and experiences. Now, I actively practice writing through this blog, to create meaningful conversation through the exchange of these stories and ideas, as I continue to learn and grow from the world day by day.

In Pursuit of the Thing is a blog of writings thrown together by a person trying to make sense of the world her self, and an attempt to share the sentiment she gains from it.

Read a story, ask a question, stay a while.
