JOSH BRANDON KILPATRICK

You've found content made by a human!

I'm Josh Kilpatrick. I like to contemplate and write, but wanting my writing to be unique and valuable, I had always rejected my ideas.

"These ideas have been done before. If I write them, I won't be original, and that's embarrasingly frivolous. Keep thinking! Maybe tomorrow you'll be original."

- Josh Kilpatrick, to himself

I've wasted years tring to get past first base.

This site is rebellion. This site doesn't care. It is orderless and themeless. Save only that the content is mine, we may find no binding link.
