http://plaza.ufl.edu/rheck/me-smile.jpgI’m a 25 year old male of English, Irish, German, and Italian descent (unfortunately my family assimilated long before I was born). I grew up in a pretty typical American, suburban, middle class environment. I am currently attempting to honestly deal with my historically accumulated privileges. Through the continual embodiment of endless and unconditional love in all my relations, I hope to also confront the individualistic materialism that we are constantly told will bring salvation. Luckily, I have been blessed with extremely supportive family and friends. Hopefully this blog can be a space where I can share and reflect on my thoughts and struggles while keeping in touch.
