I spent the majority of the day at the Detroit airport, having left home, waiting to fly to Heathrow. My life felt suspended, surreal--not just because I stand on the verge of a new adventure, but because life outside of airports doesn't seem real. I felt like everyone else's lives must've stopped as well, they were waiting along with me, and instead they were speeding along into their semesters, lives, without me.

What I'm Doing
This blog began as a way for me to "navigate the quotidian" and catch ideas that were meaningful, innovative, or worth putting on the shelf to return to later.
It has since developed into a more sophisticated version of its earlier self. It is now a place for me to navigate the quotidian in a way that (hopefully) brings: a sense of understanding about my place in my constructed world, an archive that validates my daily actions, reflection on life as greater than the individual.
It's still a new project, and I'm still working out the kinks of how to retell my day in a way that fully captures its essence without relaying every detail. It was inspired by a friend, and hopefully will inspire someone else.
