Dropping Out of University & the Aftermath
I hope that this provides some insight into why I wear the "Dropout" label as a badge of honour as well as give you all some insight into why I am the way that I am.

What I Learned from Season 1 of My Podcast: 'Guards of Eden' Recap
With season 1 ofGuards of Eden coming to a close in style with one of the most influential people in my life in Joe Wicks, I've been very reflective knowing that it was coming to an end. I felt that it could be valuable to share my experience with you all and talk about what I've learned since I decided to start Guards of Eden all the way to this point.If you're considering setting up a podcast, I would say the best advice that I could provide you with is that you're not going to get everything right the first time around and that's okay. You cannot allow the idea of "not being good" stop you from getting started. My first episode with Adam is a reflection of that as I made the silly error of not using both tracks that I recorded with so his audio is too quiet (I'll be re-editing that during the season break). The greatest teacher throughout this first season has been experience and I'm so thankful that I didn't let my fear of not being perfect get in the way.

The purpose for this post is to announce something to you all that I've been working on, and to provide you with an insight into the why behind it all.

A Letter to 20-Year-Old Luca
So in the interest of full honesty and openness, I stole this idea from my cousin for an interview that he was doing. He wrote his letter for his 25 year old self (about eight years of difference), so I've decided to write a letter to my 20 year old self (six years difference). At the risk of looking self-obsessed, I thought I would freestyle this letter and see where it goes. I hope you can take something from it no matter how big or small:

My Experience with Depression
Before I start this blog, I would like to highlight one very important point. This blog is purely biographical, and I completely understand that depression itself impacts people in many different ways. I want to use my platform to encourage people to be open as well as heightening their sensitivity to what those around them may go through each and every day.

When I Became a Man...
After questioning whether or not I wanted to write about this, I've decided to speak about the time that I feel defined me as a man going forward.

'Have You Heard? He Is...'
Welcome to this platform. I cannot say that this is a sign of things to come, but I hope that you plan on sticking around. My name is Luca. I'm 25 years of age and I work in the health and fitness industry. I like to think that I have been fortunate enough to grow up with an open mind and a loving heart; something that I am very proud of and continue to work on. I've also had my sexuality questioned for over ten years and just as recently as last week, heard the sentence that both plagues my mind and breaks my heart.
