• Metanarratives is a personal blog dedicated to sharing my journey from high anxiety, Alcoholics Anonymous, divorce, parental alienation, and trauma memory (CPTSD) to healing and a new life. The posts will cover a wide range of topics I explored over ten years. Many posts were inspired by authors I encountered along the way who made a significant difference for me personally. And along the way, I discovered I was neurodivergent, which explained a lot of the challenges I had throughout my life. It’s been a challenging journey for me, but ultimately very rewarding.

    So, I am sharing these posts with the public to possibly help someone else gain some understanding of their own lives. If this doesn’t resonate with you, please just exit the site.

Places I will Go

I want to experience life as a free man. I want to grieve well the losses along the way. (tough work) I want to be the man known by God before I was formed in my mother's womb. Ya has known me for a long time. I want to be a fine art photographer that galleries clamor to represent.

A Free Man

I am connecting something that Julia Cameron talks about with the poetic work of the Spanish priest grilling Christ in the literature. They are speaking of the same thing: freedom or slavery, our choice. The Grand Inquisitor and Julia Cameron in The Artist Way takes a lot of time discussing the elements in our life that hinder our creativity. Nicholas Berdyaev writes volumes about what creativity is and isn't. And in Dostoevsky's writing, he goes straight to the core of the problem.
