“Into the Wild” is about living your life without any attachments to our materialistic world. Just being free and as close with god, nature, and yourself as much as possible. The character Christopher McCandless abandoned all belongings and set off on a quest to be free. Chris would become unchained from society in the raw and unfiltered experiences that nature would give him. McCandless once said “The very basic core of a man’s spirit is his passion for adventure.”
I am currently a senior in high school and plan on attending Point Park University in the fall for creative writing. I have a burning passion for spoken word poetry and I hope after I graduate college to publish a book. It will consist of all the past experiences in my life of being a gay man. The book will include many pieces of spoken word that I have written throughout the years. So hopefully one day I will open Equal Magazine and see someone posing with my book on the
same page where I once was years ago.
