Breakdowns & Breakthroughs is the reimagining of an opinion column, covering the human condition in the modern world and everything going on in our lives.

We all have breakdowns and we all have breakthroughs. The original idea was about covering those stories where breakthroughs come out of breakdowns, but as time went on, the concept evolved. It became broader, looking at what it means to be human in the face of massive changes to society, technology, and culture. Some posts are about that intersection, while others are just about navigating life at large. There’s something for everyone here and I try to include both the macro and micro perspectives. Hopefully, something resonates and you gain insight into your own life to find the breakthroughs amidst the breakdowns.
