A Loosely Held Beginning

Why are we here? Figuratively and literally. This idea to start Loosely Held Plans came from corporate burnout and the contradictions between my 9-5 self and who I actually am. I am starting this without a ton of plans. Beginning something knowing it might (probably will) change or wander off. And that’s kind of the point.

Loosely Held Plans was born from a subconscious urge to make things again, not just for work or outcomes, but for curiosity and for exploration. For the joy of circling an idea without trying to wrestle it into something productive.


A collection of thoughts and experiments. Writing. Making. Questioning. Creating things I want to exist. 

I’ll be documenting as I go, not to prove anything, but to stay connected to the part of me that still thinks it’s fun to build something just because. 

I plan to share my thoughts and questions around optimistic nihilism and absurdism; the strange comfort of meaninglessness, and what we might make anyway. Some of it will probably contradict itself. I’m okay with that.

I honestly have no idea where this might go (or if anyone will ever read it). But, if you are here and still reading this, maybe you're also navigating something nonlinear, beautiful, weird, and possibly pointless, in the best of ways. 

Thanks for being here. 

Side note: I’m also going to make and share some practical tools I’ve built to stay sane in ‘the real world’.
