CHRISTOPHER SPRAY
Writer and Creator
Vulnerability seems to be the theme that my co-creator and I are finding common ground on as we grow God Complex from a wee stem cell to a metropolis. For many years, I feared that which I am passionate about. As age grabs hold, I recognize the word "regret" more and more from mentors and further aged friends. With that in mind, exploring that which makes me insecure, vulnerable and most importantly happy holds higher value.
​
In this life I want to look back and have tried everything on my damn list.
I'll quote myself here:
"Taking it slow is not winning the race, there are too many turtles for that, and life moves quicker than a hare"
In my writing I hope to share all of the to-do's and have-done's with you, Nick, and most importantly myself in the most authentic and honest way possible. Explore life from my point of view - relationships, world order, the great outdoors, communication and mindset as it pertains to ideology, belief and values.
​
My values revolve around people, the understanding that everyone comes from their own unique set of backgrounds, beliefs and experiences. Be patient, listen, inspire optimism and bring the people around you up with you as you grow and change.
Jeff Lindsay:
"Life's only obligation after-all - was to be interesting."
