On Becoming Our Parents

“This is what I love most about writing: not trying to convince others of anything or preach absolute truths, just giving a glimpse into our unique vantage point, thoughts, and experiences. In this way, we leave a few breadcrumbs that might be of value to others on their own journey.

In a world that seems to be shifting increasingly toward artificial abstractions, it’s human stories and personal reflections like The Watch that feel most alive to me.”

– Sam Sager
