ABOUT ME
Updating.... coming soon.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm not sure I can narrow down my philosophy to a sentence or two.
I am in a point in my life where I am exploring my identity. My identity often feels very tenuous and ephemeral, so I am trying to figure out who I am. I am trying to have a strong grasp on who I am as an individual. I am on a journy to figure myself out. I think I'm doing a good job so far, and part of me feels content and hopeful that one day I will feel complete and at peace with myself. Another part realizes that many people never figure themselves out entirely and that this might be a good thing; it might mean that we are continuously growing.
So my philosophy in life is to have experiences, and to seek meaning from those experiences. While I love books and music and movies, I dislike being told about how I'm suppossed to experience reality from these external sources. I feel like I'm supposed to experience reality for myself, even if these experiences are sometimes questionable.
