Through the Fire

March 13, 2025

Chaos isn’t random—it exposes our flaws. Maybe Trump is just a symptom, not the cause. Maybe the problem is deeper, rooted in a culture that thrives on instantaneous gratification, always chasing the next “biggest,” “best,” or “number one.”

Traveling beyond packaged experiences reveals how the world sees us—arrogant, self-assured, blind to nuance. But America isn’t a monolith. Each state feels like its own country, yet we are expected to function as one.

Now, the world is pushing back. Trade wars, division, global skepticism—it’s all part of the reckoning. And maybe we deserve it. Growth doesn’t happen without friction. If we want to be better, we have to go through the fire.
