A Comment on 50,000 Reads 

At times, writing a blog can be an isolating experience. Every time I log-in, I check out how many people are reading each topic, where they're from and a whole set of other analytics. While I can see someone somewhere out there is stopping by, rarely do I know who is being impacted by what I write.

When I least expect it, the isolation is broken. It is broken by a person who says they enjoy reading or they were impacted by what I said. In those moments, I find my purpose. No matter the pain I feel in my own personal life, I find joy in being able to show others they aren't alone. I am humbled by those spirits I lift. I am empowered by those lives I have redirected. I love that words can do that. I love that the human condition and experience, when shared, can do that.

I started this blog as a way to just vent. 50,000 readers later it has morphed into something much more. It is now a vehicle I use. On this journey, I see it as my duty to let you know, you aren't alone.

Thanks for entering my world,

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
