I finished filling out my taxes at midnight. At 12:01, the IRS portal refreshed and said, “Form updated—please start again.”

The greatest mystery I carry is the constant push and pull between who I am and who I imagine myself becoming. On the surface, I seem straightforward—driven, creative, chasing big visions—but beneath that lies a labyrinth of contradictions: the desire for solitude against the need for recognition, the hunger for truth battling with the comfort of illusion, the urge to leave a mark while knowing time erases everything.
If that were a plot, it would unfold as a journey through shadow and light, a character peeling back layers of his own story only to discover that every revelation raises new questions. What defines a person more—the choices they’ve made, or the secrets they’ve kept? What parts of ourselves are masks we’ve learned to wear, and what parts are unshakable truth?
That mystery—the search for the core of identity in a world of shifting mirrors—is the kind of story I’d write about myself. Not because it has a neat resolution, but because it’s the one plot that keeps unfolding with every step I take.

I would journey to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the heart of the Game of Thrones world. There’s something endlessly fascinating about walking the same roads as the Starks, Lannisters, and Targaryens, knowing that every castle stone and battlefield holds centuries of layered history. I’d wander from the frozen expanse of the Wall to the sun-soaked palaces of Dorne, tasting the contrast of cultures, traditions, and loyalties that make Westeros so alive.
What would I do there? I’d immerse myself as a chronicler, recording the stories of commoners and kings alike. Not just the legends of dragons and swords, but the whispers of the smallfolk in the taverns, the oaths sworn in the septs, and the silent prayers uttered before battle. In a land where power shifts like the tides, I’d search for the truths that lie beneath the crowns, the betrayals, and the wars.
Why Westeros? Unlike most fictional worlds, where good and evil stand in neat opposition, the Seven Kingdoms reveal the raw, complicated humanity of ambition, honor, love, and survival. It’s not a world of perfect heroes—it’s a world that mirrors our own, where choices carry weight and every decision reshapes destiny. To me, that makes it the ultimate place to explore—not just with my eyes, but with my pen.
