Finding Home

June 16, 2026June 15, 2026 Nate Ellingson

My full-time job became a side job. The side job became my career. Sometimes life knows what it’s doing without filling you in first.

The Colony

The playlist opens with Tears for Fears singing "Welcome to your life, there's no turning back" and closes with Springsteen asking "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?"

Memorial Day

🧭 Your Journey Host

Nathan Ellingson

Nathan Ellingson

Welcome! Here you will find my personal reflections of life, photos for my book, and fun and inspirational videos. I am a US Air Force veteran, writer, musician, web developer, aspiring photographer, and father of three living in rural Wisconsin. I find philosophy in night walks with my dog and meaning in the world around me one photograph at a time. When I am not writing or taking photos you will find me diving into Marvel, Doctor Who, or whatever music is currently keeping me sane. MyAnthologyOfThoughts is my collection of images and reflections on life, humanity, and the journey home. I'm happy you are here, enjoy!

Fuel the Journey

If my writing, photography, or videos have brought you something worthwhile, feel free to buy me a cup of tea. It means more than you know.
