Nathanael Has Thoughts and Prayers
It's vulnerable, crazy, and it might just work.
What would happen if you pressed record on your thoughts five days a week and posted it on the internet? Well, this. And more.
This is Nathanael Has Thoughts and Prayers. Every day Nathanael sifts through his thoughts with the help of books he’s reading, stories he’s been living, and pieces of writing he’s been wrestling with. He’s hoping to find one thought to keep him going, and hopefully you too.
He’s on a life-saving mission to answer the question:
What makes a life worth living and a story worth telling?
By asking himself and others:
“What’s one thought which kept you going?”
He’ll go first. You’re next.
Someday somebody will care and that somebody might just be you.
