So you’ve stumbled into this corner of the web, and I’m here to brush away those cobwebs out to show you how bright this side can be.

Here, my aim is to help anyone by shedding ideas of mine I’ve acquired through trial and error (ie. my tried and tested experiences throughout my life). It’s hard to figure sh*t out alone. I know, I’ve done it my whole life. But I hope through my mistakes I can help you not make them.

Who is Oliver? To begin with I want you to imagine me not as a living, breathing person, but simply as an idea. Oliver is an idea. Simple enough? The complexities with build one after another throughout these blogs, and the earlier on you read, the more you will understand that I’m not just me, but I’m also you spinning about in this deep dark nothingness above that faraway atmosphere. Let me bring you back just for a moment.

I’ll tell you who I am now. You know my name, now here’s my brief story.

Born in 1997 and raised under the palm trees of sunny Los Angeles, California, I never though much of anything in particular. I’m 24 and now have an exponentially eager drive to push myself more than ever. I never had a specific idea of what it was that I wanted, as many fortunate children do that are doing so much now at my age. That’s not a problem to me as comparing oneself to others leads to nothing good for yourself. But at 19 in my early years of college I began writing in a journal, a journal that has dramatically changed my life by writing my life within its pages. That journal is filled with text front to back, and other journals have followed in the original’s ink prints. My major in college changed from undeclared to English, then ultimately upon my graduation a BA in English and Creative Writing with a minor in Film.

This is the blog of a graduate after college wading through the murky job swamps, staying afloat as best as the crocodile jaws life has that would allow. Come as we figure it out together, you and me. I’m tired of being alone for the ride, and you shouldn’t be either.
