Billy's Thoughts

Hi, I'm Billy

Last updated on Oct 5, 2025

Hello! Welcome to my fledgling corner of the internet.

This is a place for me to write, and focus on what I want to see more of. For one, I want to see more people doing the things they love, and that starts with myself, so here we are.

Some of my values include: Beauty, Industry (“to work hard and well at my life tasks”), Intimacy, and Self-Knowledge.

I’m a bit of an indoor cat. I’m introspective, and I like psychology, philosophy of mind, and personality stuff (Enneagram: 4w5; INTJ; cusp-y Virgo/Libra).

I like playing music (drums, singing, piano), cooking, drawing, beach volleyball, coding, and trading stocks.

In June 2023 I left my job of 7 years in software engineering, took a 2-year sabbatical, and now I’m in grad school to get a PsyD.

What I’m doing now

Inspired by Derek Sivers’ now page movement

I started grad school in Aug 2025, and that’s taking up most of my time and energy. I have practicum three days a week, and classes two days a week.

But there’s no place I’d rather be right now :)

All of my various things

I like to do all sorts of things! Here’s where you can find me:
