About the Blog
Hello and welcome to Price is Writing! I started this blog as a creative outlet to express the things I am most passionate about. Like many men my age, I’ve always had an enormous passion for sports. So, my posts on this blog will be almost exclusively sports-related in some way. However, this is not just a “sports blog.” Through my writing, I want sports (a topic many people are very comfortable discussing) to act as a bridge to other topics that many people are not as comfortable discussing.
About the Author
Over time, I’ve realized my passion for sports is about so much more than just the games. I do love the games a lot, but what I really love is the experience of being a fan, the memories you make, the relationships you build, and the passion and loyalty you get to show. I also love the stories you get to see unfold on and off the field. The stories of the winners and the losers, of champions and the underdogs, and just the human element involved throughout all of it.
Outside of sports, another thing I am passionate about is raising awareness for men’s mental health. Although significant progress has been made over the past decade, there is still very much a stigma surrounding men who express their emotions. Men who talk openly about their feelings, discuss their mental health struggles, or even just show affection to those they care about are often labeled as “soft” or “weak.” Society has taught men that if we show emotional vulnerability, we’ll somehow be seen as “less of a man.”
Well, that’s not me, and it never will be. I am very much a man, and not only am I in touch with my emotions, I am also very comfortable expressing them. I cry often, I feel things deeply, I tell those close to me that I love them, and I hold sentimental value in almost everything. It’s just the type of person I am and always have been.
I have also always been the type of person who feels the need to create. Whether it was the comic books I drew as a young kid, the PowerPoint presentations I spent hours crafting on my home desktop for my own enjoyment, the digital art I fell in love with as a teen, or the failed podcast (RIP) I started during COVID… my whole life, I have always felt the need to create something from scratch that I could share with others and be proud of. Welcome to that something!
What To Expect
Through the lens of sports and fandom, Price is Writing is a place where I’ll open up, share deeply personal stories, pass along life lessons, and write about things that I wouldn’t normally post online. I’ll be showing an authentic version of who I am, and hopefully, I’ll inspire others to do the same.
I already have so many ideas and things I want to write about, and I’m sure I’ll only have more as time goes on. So, whether you know me personally or just stumbled across this blog by accident, thank you so much for being here! Please subscribe, follow along, and enjoy!
