Looking back to the beginning

Anyone who knows me knows I have a lot of energy and I don’t settle down… A particularly memorable attempt to describe me was, direct quote, “you are a question mark, Stu.” This came from a friend who’s known me since I began living in British Columbia and has seen a lot of change in those 7 years, including my recent infatuation with Brazil. In university I joined a fraternity, changed my major 3 times, dropped out for a semester mid-way to pursue “peace among worlds” — a disorganized movement imbued with a spiritual vibe wherein I tried to unite different generations, revive the “summer of love,” and give selflessly to those in need — and that was the last time I wrote a blog. After that period, I came to terms with quite a few unaddressed questions about my adoption, which ultimately helped me understand my identity and feel grounded in reality. In this process, I met my birth mother, her family, went to therapy with my family and generally felt a lot happier and fulfilled with who I was.
