I'll Keep Writing

Essays
Written By Nathan Box

As I search this world

For who I should be

Looking for something new completely

I’ll keep writing

 

Despite my resentment

On having to be an adult

Knowing growing up is the final result

I’ll keep writing

 

When my mind feels messy

And my heart hurts

And it seems more trouble than it’s worth

I’ll keep writing

 

When the world gets lonely

And I feel like no one understands

And all I have are God’s open hands

I’ll keep writing

 

Setting off on my next adventure

And seeing what all the world can offer

Like a tea cup waiting to be drank on its saucer

I’ll keep writing

 

No matter what I have yet to discover

Or what is left to endure

There’s one thing I’ll always know for sure

I’ll keep writing

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.
