The Why

The Why


I write for my little boy, who is of German/Polish/English/Scottish heritage so he may have a protagonist, a hero, who he can aspire to emulate and learn from. There are old stories of value, but new stories need to be created for the now, in the context of today, looking to the future, so he can relate. I write to inspire, to stretch what is possible, to hit an emotional chord, to make life better. To explore.

I write for my friends of European heritage. They are in the same age as me. They have struggles and tribulations in their life. There isn’t much current/in the culture of now that helps them deal with the messy and significant stuff of life. That which inspires, relaxes, makes them laugh, points to their value, teaches. I write for them.

I write for myself. For the joy of it. For creativity’s sake. To remind myself what we are all capable of.

I stopped drinking water from the tap and switched over to filtered water once I learnt this (who actually knows if it is true or not, but meh no harm no foul). I'm also 36 so naturally my testosterone levels are dropping off somewhat due to age. Not what they were when I was 20, but higher than when I'll be 44. Hopefully my healthy lifestyle is mitigating/slowing that decrease down, and there are things I can do to increase. Watched a podcast with Rogan and Andrew Huberman where they discuss testosterone optimisation. So apparently testosteron...
