About

Hi, I’m Matt — welcome to The Middle Z.

I am starting this blog as a space to think out loud. There’s no grand mission here, no promise of regular updates or a polished point of view. This is just where I come to wrestle with the world as I see it — through the books I read, the places I travel, the headlines I can’t stop thinking about, and the quiet thoughts that stick with me longer than I expect.

The Middle Z is my attempt to define who I am, one post at a time. Sometimes that means exploring big ideas or reflecting on something personal. Other times it’s just about putting a stake in the ground and saying, this is what I believe today.

I don’t know exactly where this will go, but I’m glad you’re here. If you’re curious, skeptical, thoughtful, or just passing through — you’re in the right place.
