The Point of Life Blog is part reflection, part record: bullet-pointed meditations on life, love, and lore. Here, I write about family, mental health, writing, memory, faith, failure, healing, and the tender everyday lessons that keep finding me whether I ask for them or not. Mostly, Point of Life is about my journey toward exploring a better sentence, a better self, a better way of loving the people who made me, hurt me, held me, and helped me become.
