About Me

Living in the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic, I began to reflect on what inspired me to get out of bed every day. So many things I thought I believed in suddenly felt so hollow, so fruitless. It took years of reflection, but without it I wouldn’t have found the light starting to shine in.

I’m only one person with one life, but now I understand the power that one life can have in the connections we share, the fertile ground we walk on, and the love all around us. No matter what darkness we encounter, we go on.

I am inspired by people and can only hope to inspire others in turn. To simultaneously spread joy and feel it, this is the foundation of my new mindset. My name is Austin, and I am in love with the world.
