Personal Reflections

Why I Keep Coming Back to the Number 42

2 min read

People occasionally ask why the number 42 appears throughout my work.

The short answer is because of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The longer answer is much more personal.

To me, 42 has never represented an answer.

It represents freedom.

The freedom to choose who we become.

The freedom to write our own story instead of waiting for someone else to explain its meaning.

Throughout life I've discovered that certainty is often overrated.

Growth usually begins with curiosity.

That's why 42 has become more than a number.

It's a reminder that meaning isn't found.

It's created.

Every conversation.

Every challenge.

Every decision.

Every story.
