About

My name is Dan Harrison and I am a software engineer. For most of my career I have been solving other people's problems, leaving little time for looking at my own. As a result, I have a lengthy backlog of issues that need to be explored and addressed. My goal is to take the problem-solving skills I have learned during my career, and apply them to my life. I will embrace my flaws, write about them, and take responsibility for the direction of my life.

Through radical honesty and authentic living, I want to get to a state where I can be open about anything, and just be unapologetically me. Navigating this path is going to be the single most challenging undertaking of my life, but I am here for it. This is my struggle. My reason to get up in the morning. My reason for living. Nobody can take that away from me.

This site will serve as a repository of my thoughts, feelings, and experiences throughout this journey of self exploration. In writing I hope to achieve a level of clarity that I wouldn't ordinarily attain from a simple internal monologue. The reason I am documenting this process publicly is because it's the best way to be held accountable. Some of the topics I am going to touch on will be sensitive in nature and triggering for some people, please bear that in mind.

I'm not a therapist. I'm not a life coach. I certainly don't have it all figured out. I'm just Dan, a software engineer searching for something that feels like the truth. Join me on this adventure!
