Project Night

Mission: To conduct a fearless and compassionate inventory of the past, excavating the defining moments, core lessons, and formative experiences that have shaped who I am today. Summary: Before building a future, one must survey the land. Project Night is a structured, private, and honest archeological dig into the first half of my life. It is not an exercise in rumination or regret, but a deliberate act of gathering data. By examining the peaks, the valleys, the detours, and the unexamined assumptions of the journey so far, the goal is to uncover the raw materials of wisdom. This project is the necessary prerequisite to any future planning, providing the foundational understanding from which all else can be built.
