"I come alive when things are beginning. When stuff is new. When there's a real feeling of wildness in the air. Infinite possibilities. Institutions make me uncomfortable. I feel like I have to lose part of myself to be a part of them. Dreams make sense to me - they are fragrant with hope. They don't listen to fear. I'm watching these beautiful girls of mine become little women and it's enough to make the bank account feel significant. I am LUCKY! I married UP. Like 10th story."

"I love the process. Getting to wake up every day and deploy my energy in pursuit of my ambition makes everything worth it. It's the journey, never the destination. I want legacy, influence, and impact. I’m ultimately patient. I figured myself out. I know what makes me happy."

"I'm not a very religious person, but I know I've met God before. There have been a handful of moments and each of them have come from immersing myself in music; closing my eyes and allowing myself to connect with something deeper. Music is the most human experience imaginable: you CANNOT separate the two. It brings people together, it provides common ground for people to understand each other. Some of my most meaningful connections and happiest moments have been grounded in rattling hi-hats and a booming bass. Objectively, there is no explanation to why rhythmic and patterned noise should affect us the way it does. It's God's greatest gift to us all."

"work is love made visible" - Kahlil Gibran (from his poem "On Work"). I saw this quote on a plaque on somebody's front porch while walking my dog the other day. It gets right to the heart of what I love in life. I love hard work. Work that makes your body and soul tired at the end of the day. Analog relationships, conversation - the day to day work of love, friendship, marriage, community. My dog is much the same. I get him. He certainly gets me. A happy day is one where Sonny is physically tired from doing what he loves - going on a walk!"

"I love my wife. There are a lot of things that I enjoy, but they all ultimately come back to her. I love playing Mario Kart with her, sitting on the porch and drinking coffee with her, binge watching shows together, and continuing to grow as a person with the help from her support and love. She’s my best friend, and any of my passions are instantly enhanced by combining them with her.”

"Sometimes it's hard to separate my identity and what I'm passionate about from my role as mama in this season, but as I think through what I love, it's making people feel that they belong, being generous with whatever my hands are holding for the Kingdom, and creating comfortable (and pretty) spaces to invite people into to shower love and hospitality. I think when people feel loved and accepted, that's where abundant life starts."

"I'm not the best designer, the most patient dad, or the most thoughtful husband. I fall short every day of my full potential. But life isn't about being the very best. It's about striving, and continually fighting to become better...to pursue greatness and to never settle. I love living a life where I'm learning every day to become better than I was the day before. I love waking up every day learning and growing to become the man God is molding me into."

"I love technology. I love what it can do for you and how it can make your life easier. I love the design of it. I love how it's always innovating. I love Apple devices, hands down. I love where it started from and how it's built up to where it is now. I love Apple."

"I love nature. I love its silence and stillness. There’s something primal and deeply satisfying about spending time in the world we were built for. Every time I watch a sunset, put my feet in the water, or hike deep into a forest, I’m reminded what a gift it is to live on this beautiful planet."

"I love my family, friends, and sunny days. I love spending time with them, talking with them, and knowing that I have someone to confide in. I work as a nurse, so it's nice to have someone to hang out with that allows me to let off some steam and be myself."

"I’ve always loved helping passionate people build things, and I’m lucky enough to get to spend my summer interning at Product Hunt doing exactly that. It’s not every day where people are able to find the time, space, and resources to work on something they truly care about - can’t think of anything better than to support those who are lucky enough to do so."

"I love going to school. I'm going to be a geriatric nurse. I volunteer at a veteran's home and have a passion for the elderly. I love my current job and I love what my job will be in the future. Nursing is really amazing. I hope I succeed in it."

"I love the spaces in between. Words. Notes. Furniture. People. Thoughts. For me that's where the life is really found."

"I love my family, people, spontaneity, and capturing real love, whether it’s on film on a wedding day or writing about it in a song. Feeling the raw realness in a story and seeing it come together in a way that makes you feel it! I will never turn down a rap battle and I could spend every day at the lake."

"I love rivers. Calm. Flow. I was the English kid growing up in French schools, and I came to love language. Deeper than that, I love music. If I had months to live, I would reach for my guitar and I would sing. I would invite everyone I love to strike up the band."

"I love writing music with other people. The most beautiful memories I have in this life, so far, are of myself and a few other people in a room together, finding a head space together that feels like we’re all tapping into a common signal. It feels like casting a spell."

"Me in my natural state...looking at the phone, AirPods plugged in, connected. In the world we live in, real world interactions are even more valuable than they were back in the day, but it’s okay to admit that staring at a screen is okay. That makes me happy."

"I love Jesus, my incredible wife Kat, and being a father to Elliot and Emma. I also love authentic conversation and people being real with one another. We live in such a fake world where we all try our best to look good, act smart, post the coolest updates, etc. But nothing is more enjoyable than when the masks come off and we are just real with one another on both the good and the bad."

"I love my husband and I love the Piñas (my Twitch subscribers), and in this particular post, I’d like to appreciate the Piñas. My husband and I travel so much that we get a little homesick. This community that we've built together has shown me so much love and support that it makes those times that much easier. Every day I get the pleasure of seeing one piña lift another piña up. This community is amazing! I am so lucky to have their support because they give me the opportunity to live my dream as a YouTuber. I love you, Piñas!"

"As odd as it may sound, I love work. I write code for a living and it fulfills my love of problem solving. Every day there’s a new challenge to chip away at until there are a few clear paths forward, and then I get to pick one and build it, which is so rewarding."
