Hey, I'm Mark Harper. I use this blog as my digital sandbox—a place to play with ideas that range from deeply reflective to borderline ridiculous. Writing helps me process the chaos of everyday life, and sharing it connects me with folks who also appreciate both thoughtful analysis and the occasional passionate rant about convenience store coffee. Away from the keyboard, I'm usually tinkering with old cameras, attempting to keep my sourdough starter alive, or exploring urban trails with my dog who judges my playlist choices. This space is unfiltered, sometimes unpolished, but always authentically me.
