Hey there! This post was written in 2017, so it may contain information that is no longer accurate or thoughts that no longer reflect how I feel. As human beings, we're constantly learning and bettering ourselves through experiences and interactions with the world and each other.

I keep posts like this around for historical purposes and to prevent link rot, so please keep this in mind as you're reading.

But all that will come soon enough. Today is your day, Calvin, and this is where your journey begins.
