I'm a high school special education teacher / English Language Arts teacher in Minnesota in the U.S.

I get nerdy about weird/surreal literature/poetry/art. I'm bourgie about coffee and pastries, but very little else. My life is mostly about treasuring the now and reaching out to new people and experiences, for tomorrow we're dead. (I'm not as hippie as that sounds. I just think being alive is pretty neat.)

I'm Alethea. I use to share this account with my sister, Debbie, but am traveling solo in Thailand, Combodia, Vietnam, and Laos this summer. Wanna meet cool weirdos to stroll with, drink coffee with, carpe diem with.

Teach, Learn, Share

Poetry is my thing. I will write you a poem if you ask for one.
