The Agitated Observer

The Agitated Observer

A place to think out loud, and now and then to think alone.

I'm a late middle-aged wanderer, writer, and student of the human condition. I've spent my lifetime following questions more often than answers, choosing independence over belonging, and writing my own conditions whenever possible.

You'll find thoughts on current events, forgotten stories, philosophy, masculinity, relationships, intimacy, freedom, and whatever else happens to be occupying my mind at the time. Some entries may be thoughtful. Some may be personal. Some may simply be me trying to make sense of the world.

This site is just one more voice in the plethora of voices screaming to be heard. It is the voice of one person. It is the voice that has experienced a lot of life already. It is a voice that has biases (we all have them whether we want to acknowledge that or not). It is a site that allows that voice to be heard, regardless if you agree or don't.
