Searching for Serotonin

In 2024, I rode 2,700 kilometres through the Baja Peninsula as a fundraiser for youth mental health in Whistler.

What I didn’t expect was how much perspective and healing I would find myself along the way.

Somewhere between the deserts, mountains, silence, exhaustion, and long empty roads… the ride became something much deeper.

Maybe that’s why some of us keep riding.

Absolutely magnificent. This is how all supermarkets should look like. No plastic. No packaging. Just delicious 🤤

We need to write more.

Not polished.
Not optimized.
Not fed through a machine before it’s even had a chance to breathe.

Just you…
a thought…
and the courage to sit with it long enough
for it to turn into something real.

Because writing—real writing—
isn’t about sounding smart.

It’s about seeing clearly.

And that only happens when you slow down enough to wrestle with your own thinking.

Most people skip that part now.

We live in a world of fast content.
Quick hits. Easy takes.
Mental junk food dressed up as insight.

And we consume it all day…
then wonder why we feel scattered, foggy, and disconnected from ourselves.

But when you write—slowly, honestly—
something shifts.

Your thoughts sharpen.
Your patterns reveal themselves.
And over time… your life starts to follow.

Same with what you take in.

Not everything is meant to be consumed quickly.
Some things are meant to be sat with.
Questioned. Felt. Lived into.

More long-form.
More real conversations.
More depth.

Less noise.

Write more.
Read more.
Slow down enough to actually understand your own life.

That’s where the gold is.

A mentor once told me something that stuck with me:

“Most people don’t fail because of bad ideas.
They fail because they hesitate too long.”

And I see it everywhere.

People wait until they feel prepared.

Waiting until the plan is perfect.

Waiting until they feel confident.

But the people who make progress usually do something different.

They move first.

Then they adjust.

They publish the post.
They launch the project.
They start the conversation.

Even if it’s imperfect.

Because action creates momentum.

And momentum creates opportunities you couldn’t plan for.

Are you continuing to do it mostly because it makes you feel interested and alive — or are you continuing to do it mostly because you know what to expect and you're hesitant to make a change?
