“Rarely do we take the time to really look at where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, who we’ve become — and reflect whether the person we’re meant to be has been forgotten, lost, or compromised along the way.” - This really hits home. This is the type of thinking that pushed me to begin writing this year. Love your stuff. You have an endless stream of interesting stories.

Reading your insightful essay helped me realize that this feeling of life passing by doesn't mean life is bad. It's a signal that I'm disconnected from the stories that have shaped life, that I haven't reconnected the significance of the past to the present.

"I’d propose that an unexamined life hasn’t actually been lived." Writing has certainly helped me recover a fuller relationships to the past and shape today's narratives.

Thanks for sharing your stories with us, Rick. I signed up for Courage Writer!
