Things I’ve noticed, places I’ve been, rabbit holes I’ve followed, and whatever else felt worth writing down.

The Alchemy of Becoming

I’ve been writing pieces of my life for years.

Some started in notebooks. Some were written while I was trying to understand life. Some came from places I didn’t want to forget, questions I couldn’t leave alone, or experiences that kept asking to be made into stories.

For a long time, most of them simply accumulated.

The Alchemy of Becoming is where I’m finally putting them.

It’s my corner of Substack for the things that don’t become novels: personal essays, pieces excavated from old notebooks, stories from places I’ve been, things I’m still trying to understand, and the occasional rabbit hole I couldn’t resist following.

Some are about who I was. Some are about who I’m becoming. Most probably live somewhere in between.

There probably won’t be a sensible order.

That seems appropriate.
