Commitment: How I Chose Philosophy Over the Philharmonic

Commitment: How I Chose Philosophy Over the Philharmonic

I hit my physical peak as a musician when I was 20. To this day it saddens me. It could have been better. It could have been great.Commitment: How I Chose Philosophy Over a Philharmonic ¶ I wanted to write an essay about commitment, or should I say I do want to write an essay about commitment? The phrases “I do” and “I wanted” can mean almost the same thing or not the same thing at all. Maybe I wanted to and still do. Maybe I wanted to, then I didn’t, and now I do again. The thing about these words, and what one could suppose is the case with all words, is that they’re just words.

How to Pitch The Lighthouse

And what to avoid.

I started this Medium publication, The Lighthouse, on July 15. I remember this because July 15 is my mother’s birthday, and also because I found a ‘To Do’ list from that day:

How My Toddler Reminded Me That Race Is Still MY Issue

I know, I know. “It’s 2016”, you say. “Race isn’t an issue anymore”, you say. Well, if that’s the world you live in, good for you. But…today, my 18-month old daughter reminded me that race relations are still a very real and tangible issue that will unfortunately linger through her generation. ¶ So what was the impetus of this post? Well, today I went to my daughter’s nursery. Her caretaker greeted me eagerly, excited to tell me an anecdote from my little one’s day. Their class has started a new theme of emotions, and the first step was for each child to select the color of their skin.
