About Patrick Hardeman

I am a parent, sibling, war veteran and author. Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, I have always been fascinated by human behavior, which led me to study psychology and kinesiology. Growing up in a diverse community and serving in the military provided me with unique insights into resilience and the impact of experiences on behavior.

My roles as a parent has deepened my understanding of interpersonal dynamics and connections. Through my academic pursuits and personal experiences, I have developed a profound appreciation for the human spirit and its capacity for growth and healing.

I write from honesty, love, and compassion – not from hatred, though I have every right to feel it. My words aren’t born from bitterness; they’re born from truth. If anyone finds fault in them, I invite them to look inward before casting judgment, because my intention is never to divide, but to awaken what’s human in all of us.
