Hi. I'm Steve, and I am trying to figure out what it means to be human. I am fascinated by how people grow and what makes them tick. Come along if you like.





I write about growth—in skill, in understanding, in character.

I have fallen in love with being wrong.

I've come to cherish questions more than answers, to sit with them and let them shape me. But when I do find answers, I share them here. I use writing to chronicle my own journey of becoming what I hope is a better version of myself. I don’t write about anything in self-development without trying it first—and I mean rigorously, methodically trying it. I am honest about the mistakes and discoveries I make along the way, and I write at a level of detail that actually walks people through what worked and what didn't.

When my discoveries fit into step-by-step bullet points, I use them. When it doesn't, I use poetry and reflective essays.

It probably doesn't make sense to put all of this in one place. At least, not yet. But that's part of being human too, isn't it?
