Welcome

Come on in — this is my new home online at dustywentworth.com Whether you have followed my writing from earlier platforms, or you have only just discovered me, you are most welcome here.

Introduction of Purpose

This space is where I write, talk and reflect on masculinity, identity, disability, chronic illness, recovery, and self-improvement. These are not abstract subjects for me — they are lived realities. As a soldier, contractor, and now as someone living with complex disability and chronic conditions, I have wrestled with questions of strength, purpose, and belonging. Those struggles, as painful as they have been, also give me insight into what it means to adapt, to endure, and to grow.

My aim is simple: to inspire, mentor, and support others. Some of you will be fighting your own battles with health or circumstance; others may simply be looking to refine aspects of self-care, wellbeing, or relationships. Wherever you are, I hope my reflections can offer perspective, encouragement, and at times a challenge to think differently.

This is not just my space, but a place for honest conversation. Thank you for joining me at the beginning of this next chapter — I am glad you are here.
