I write about my curiosities, ranging from cultural philosophy and religious symbolism to mental health and self-development.

Hey there. I'm Nathanael.
And I have a soul-crunching fear of reaching the twilight of my life only to realize I wasn't living the heck out of it. I don't want to be drifting on autopilot – I call it sleepwalking.
I want to live intentionally. I want to live on purpose. And I can't do that until I understand what this life – this world – is all about.
So my journey is one of inquiry, a pursuit of understanding. Because I believe understanding makes the world come alive. It adds color to a world of black and white, gives us agency over things we would otherwise not be able to control, and sketches a map to navigate our impossibly complex society.
I'm tirelessly curious about the world, and you'll find that my explorations will take me to every corner of the universe, notebook in hand.
What does it mean to be human? What are the underlying currents that shape society? How does the mind work (that pesky little thing) and how can we turn it into a strength rather than a source of constant struggle?
Together, we will pull back the veil from the deeper, underlying fabric of our world. Basically, I aim to show you that there is often more than meets the eye. Why? So that we can live more intentionally and meaningfully.
