By July 2020 COVID-19 had grown from an obscure virus in central China to a worldwide pandemic. Most areas in the United States were under lockdown, with stay at home orders in effect across many states. As I quarantined in my apartment, only venturing out once a week to pick up groceries (ordered online to reduce contact with others), there was plenty of time to think. For me, there was one topic that was stuck in my mind: the future. Not just the uncertain future of the world at large, but what I saw for myself in the coming years. I sat down with my journal, a pen, and three days of uninterrupted time. It took the entirety of that time, but by the end I had created what I’ve come to call my “3 year plan.” This plan offered a rough outline of what I wanted to see out of the next 3 years, and what I would need to do to realize that vision.
Hi there. My name is Tristan, and this is my website. Mostly, this is a collection of thoughts, writings, and projects that are bouncing around my head.
