There’s always been something about that line, “I’m not a biter, I’m a writer for myself and others.*”

I’m not a writer, fuck it though I’m going to try. I think a lot; too much, and I’ve long been searching for a voice. I feel as though many of us internalize the thoughts that perhaps deserve to be heard. Perhaps we are all in search of a voice.

I enjoy art. I enjoy conversation. I love music, and travel. I believe in love. “You’re damn right I believe in love, because I’ve been in love and I’ve loved right back.**” 

Let us have more conversations. Real conversations. Regardless the topic, let’s actually speak. Let’s share ideas and learn and grow and better ourselves by opening ourselves to one another.

I would like to use this platform to share my ideas and opinions. Maybe you’d like to read them. Maybe not. Maybe, should you feel so inclined, they could lead to conversation. No matter, for anyone having taken the time to read – it is my hope that something is gained. Be it a new idea; an understanding; a story; a smile. That is my hope, because what is better than sharing something of yours with another?

My name is Jesse and I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. Let’s make a little bit of noise.
