This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

How The World Was

January 1995
Jonathan is 15

For the first fourteen years of my life, I fought for an understanding of why the world was the way it was, not ever perceiving in those fourteen years how the world was.

Around the time I turned 15, I began to perceive how the world was. When this happened, the desire to know why it was that way vanished.
