lol true

I realized the why of everything I’ve ever wanted to create.

Now I need your voice.

All my work, from New Leaf to CC to even ideas I haven’t developed like The Manual of Misbehavior, is about the person who’s drawn to a different path than those around them.

Someone looking around thinking “this can’t be it.”

Who sees the road others seem fine with but hears a whisper from down a different trail.

That trail is overgrown, with a thicket of vines and flowers you can’t see past, but you know you have to go.

You wouldn’t mind a flashlight though, and someone to walk with you.

Also, this is key, you value remaining connected with your people on the other path. Your trail returns you to theirs often.

I feel the deepest stir to make something specifically for those of us who heard that whisper. But I don’t know what it is!

Could be an annual camp all together. Could be media of some kind like a book. Could be a group that meets weekly.

Would want it to feel like somewhere those of us who are daring to take an unconventional way get to experience recognition on a soul level.

If you’re such a person, I’d love to talk to you. Let’s jam.

About your experience wanting a life different than your hometown or family or even those around you now, and straddling those worlds. About what would be supportive or what would’ve been at a prior inflection point. And what descriptors resonate because I know it ain’t black sheep.

Lmk if you’re game for a video or phone chat and I’ll reach out. Or feel free to answer here. Also please please show this to anyone who comes to mind.

This feels like the most vital thing I’ve tapped into in ages.
