But there, he could own land, realize his dream of being an artist, and start a family—the Millennial dream. Over the next three years, Mahdavian leaned into the wonders of the natural Idaho landscape and found himself adjusting to and enjoying a slower pace of living. But beyond the boundaries of his six acres, he was confronted with the realities of America’s political shifts and forced to confront the question: Do I belong here? The narrative traces my political interest from the time I reached, as we said in Catholic school, “the age of reason.” It captures all the great moments of our times as I witnessed them. teachers, then went to Holy Cross with the Jesuits, who taught philosophy and rigorous critical thinking.
