Hi! Welcome to my website, which is also a book in progress.

Context Is...
The Title of a Book

“To become a proper writer, you have to forgive yourself for the catastrophe of the first draft.” —Alain de Botton

Context Is/Was My Pain

On Sunday, January 5th 2025, I reclaimed my life after 30 years of living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). For the first time, I feel fully present—whole, seen, and unapologetically myself.

This journey has been one of pain, resilience, and truth. I’ve learned the difference between real love and conditional love. I’ve set boundaries where I was once afraid to. And I’ve finally embraced the light I’ve always had, no longer content to let others diminish it.

To those who stood by me: Thank you for showing me the love that was always there. To those who didn’t: Thank you for helping me see the love that was never real.

Free Gaza. Free Palestine. Free every person and nation being held in contempt by colonizers.

And to those who’ve suffered in silence, been called crazy, insane, nuts, or psycho: You are not alone. Your light is real, and it deserves to shine.

Let’s radiate that light together. Thank you for being here.

Now, let’s dance. 💃

Context is an Intro

Purpose:

To index lessons learned and help others to find their context in life that allows them to experience all of it in full as something that is true.

Vision:

Cultivate a space of knowledge management useful to those looking to improve, among other things, in the art of self-effacement. Or something like that...

Mission:

Demonstrate the follies and forthcoming lessons from showing ego, hopefully in a manner that is comically witty and mildly self-deprecating at worst.

Context is a Journey

The chart above is a visualization of the essays produced since this project began.

The blue bars reflect the number of essays produced, based on the left vertical axis.

The red and yellow lines indicate the word count produced at the time and cumulatively.

Below are links to associated essays that will be used as context for what will one day be a book.

For now, it is what makes up this site's content.

Context is Free

All content is free because, to be cheesy and quote Isaac Newton:

“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants”.

If I have gotten anywhere in life, it is by the help and contributions of others.

May the context I have to give be a foundation with which for you to find a context to call your own.
