We must become somebody who seeks and finds God in all things and at all times, in all places, in all company, and in all ways.
—Meister Eckhart
This is a place for intellectual revolutions, wandering minds, and the thoughts that don’t fit neatly into words—but which insist on being heard. I think deeply, feel fully, and try to gesture toward truth, like a finger pointing at the moon.
I’m Paul.
Writer by compulsion, philosopher by disposition, and emotions junkie by birth.
I write because I need to—it’s how I wrestle with ideas, emotions, and the contradictions in between. It’s how I’ve made sense of the world, and my place in it. Honestly, it’s a bit like therapy.
To me, philosophy isn’t a toy you pick up when it’s fun. It’s not some dry, dusty academic discipline either. It’s a spiritual practice: a way of existing in the world, something embodied.
That’s what earned me the nickname El Filósofo, which means “the philosopher” in Spanish. It’s easily the coolest nickname I’ve ever had!
I’ve studied ideas, lived through a few of my own existential crises, and I’m still here—sauntering vaguely toward enlightenment, whatever that is.
El Filósofo started as a small blogging project to pass the time, but it’s become more like a journal of my meditations made public.
Here, you’ll find essays, fragments, and reflections that wrestle with whatever’s been keeping me up at night—sometimes philosophical, sometimes political, often personal, and always honest.
This is a space where I try my best to make sense of the world—and hopefully to offer something to those of us trying to do the same.
If that’s you, I sincerely hope you feel at home here. You’re welcome to linger, read, comment, or get in touch. My hope is that El Filósofo can be a place for the communion of minds—for kindred spirits who think deeply, feel fully, and aren’t afraid to wrestle with what matters.
