About NICK
It does not feel good to go against the grain, it never does. But if going with the grain is not serving you, then the process of breaking down norms must begin. Harmful patterns of behavior and thought can only obstruct the path toward individual transcendence, and it is with the individual that we must begin; for it is only through personal, more localized growth that broader change may occur. To do this, however, we must ask of ourselves the more penetrative questions, questions that cut to the core of our humanity and allow for limitations of the Self to fall away. In doing so, higher levels of pure consciousness may be reached allowing for a liberated human experience to be had. So much of what we are exposed to today seeks only to divide as it bolsters the superficial Self, giving rise to near-sightedness, artifice, and discord. Luckily, words have not been lost on our humanity and still carry with them the communicative weight to penetrate and redefine degenerative paradigms. It is my hope that my love of words is evident in my writing as I seek to understand, and perhaps rethink the world in which we live.
