everybody wants this

I was walking the other day around Fukuoka City and it hit me.

“We all want status.”

Silly, I know. But it’s the reality.

We all want to be known and validated.

Some want to be on stages and in front of cameras.

Others just want their neighbors to respect them.

It’s a spectrum.

For me, I want to touch others with my words.

I want people to come up to me and tell me my books really impacted them in a deep way.

Those words don’t have to be just books. They can morph into images, sounds, and videos.

But at the end of the day…

It all starts with words.

Why else would I write this at 7 years old?

“If I could be any storybook character. I would be a writer. I would be rich.”

Ahh, the starry eyes of childhood.

Yes, money is great. And necessary.

But my definitions of money have evolved from the primordial ooze of adolescence of “rich” to now mean…

Freedom.

To me, freedom is the ability to choose how you use your energy.

Right now, I want to direct my energy to build a community space in Japan focused on art and connection.

Enter: The Dome House

In my last email, I asked which rewards you wanted for supporting the Dome House crowdfunding campaign.

You voted equally for physical art and in-person experiences.

So, let’s keep it going.

This isn’t final. But I want to see which reward level has the most demand.

Talk soon,
