Introduction

I created this blog to provide a medium of expression for myself to the world. I think it is healthy to take time to think and reflect about one's life since we live in a complex, digital age where we are bombarded with tasks and information that we do not have time to process in our day-to-day busy lives.

A little bit about myself: I am currently a college student and have a lovely girlfriend. My life is by no means perfect, but I try to enjoy the simple things in life: a meal with a friend, a deep and meaningful conversation, and a trip to the beach.

I love to travel, to take risks and to go on an exciting adventure. I've started a company with a few of my friends called Envisio, LLC. We produce electronic accessories. I love people, and have a passion for organizing people and resources to start something new and to accomplish challenges previously deemed impossible. 

Now that I'm transitioning from a teenager to young adulthood I've been thinking a lot about the transience of life. I enjoy life, and feel as if just yesterday I was a kid playing video games with my friends, waiting for recess and lunch and school.

The most fearful thing that has been at the back of my mind as I'm getting older is death.

I used to fear death, but the more I experience life the more I realize that its limits make the moments in between our birth and inevitable demise all the more worthwhile and precious.

If there was no death, we human beings would not value life anymore than we sand or the ocean, which we have too much of. 

My goal is to live life to its fullest, to make the most of it, and to make a positive difference for those around me. I don't know my future or my fate, but I would like to put 110% of my effort into orienting my present, despite my failures and shortcomings, to optimize my future.

My friend once told me, "Look at the present as if you were looking at a memory in the past, from the perspective of the future". I thought his advice was profound in that if we look at the present as a memory in the making, then we will treasure it and make the present as good of an experience as possible, so that we can enjoy this memory to its fullest later on.

Until next time,
Nathan
