Money Can Solve the Problem

Essays
Written By Nathan Box

Lives on pause.  

Our longing makes living exhausting.  

This must end.  

We can dream of better days.  

 

Paychecks won’t need to be lived between.  

Breathing won’t be so expensive.  

Our attention can focus elsewhere.  

We can dream of better days.  

 

The world will still possess trials.  

Tribulations will still visit the doorstep.  

Our resolve will still need testing.  

We can dream of better days.  

 

Be good to each other,  

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.
