Bangkok: Sawasdee Khrap
Bangkok changed the way I think about cities. In its neon streets, crowded temples, and layered history, I discovered what urban texture truly means—and why some places stay with you long after you leave.
I read Chuck Klosterman's The Nineties and connect Nirvana, nostalgia, Whitehorse, Regina, and my own memories of the decade.
I use Bell Let's Talk day to write about my mental state, yearly themes, communication, momentum, and where I want to go.
I celebrate Kylie's twelfth birthday after another challenging year of COVID, school, growth, and the move toward middle school.
On my 42nd birthday, I reflect on amor fati, humbling events, COVID, burnout, and keeping the fire alive.
I listen to Ryan Holiday and Bari Weiss discuss morning phone habits, attention, inboxes, and starting the day intentionally.
I check in after time away from writing, smoky Okanagan days, shifted appointments, and the excuses that derailed me.
