Hello, Fellow Archivists
Hello, Fellow Archivists.
I’m the writer and creator behind The Stratagem’s Archive—a space I built from the ground up for people in similar boats: weary, curious, angry, wondering, wandering.
This archive exists because I don’t believe you need a five-year plan to live thoughtfully.
I write to track what I’m learning, to question what I thought I knew, and to push back against the idea that a meaningful life must be neat, optimized, or fully explained.
I don’t have a master strategy.
But I do have questions. Frustrations. Ideas. Rage. Hope. Curiosity.
All of it ends up here.
What I Write About
The Stratagem’s Archive is a collection of field notes from the messy middle of life, including:
Personal essays on debt, burnout, ambition, and work Reflections on friendship, asexuality, aging, and identity Creative experiments: D&D concepts, thought experiments, personal projects Honest, journal-style updates on learning to code, writing through exhaustion, and staying present
The common thread isn’t the topic—it’s the practice of paying attention and writing things out instead of letting them disappear.
I don’t publish consistently— not because I have everything figured out— but because staying present feels like a quiet act of resistance in a world that doesn’t reward silence. Only compliance, and performance.
Why “The Stratagem’s Archive”?
The name started as instinct.
I liked the idea of an archive—something built slowly, deliberately, and honestly—even before I had a clear strategy.
Over time, the meaning has shifted:
a stratagem doesn’t have to be a perfect plan.
Sometimes it’s simply choosing to keep going, to keep observing, to keep recording what’s real.
Like everything here, the name is allowed to evolve.
The Journey So Far
This project began as Plans2Action: a small experiment in turning thoughts into something tangible.
It became The Stratagem’s Archive—a home for reflections, questions, and quiet rebellion against living by someone else’s script.
In just three months, I’ve written over 100 posts.
Not for algorithms or validation, but to connect, to question, and to build something lasting from days where sleep, burnout, and the thoughts in my head were elusive at 2 in the morning.
If you’ve found your way here, I hope you find something that resonates.
Because this isn’t just my archive.
It’s one we build—one reflection at a time.
