About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Stay hungry, stay foolish.

ABOUT ME
Hippie|Feminist|Queer
台灣 Taiwan is not the Republic of China.
I stand for Taiwan's independence, supporting gender equality and human rights. Leave me alone if you are a racist, homophobe, etc.

I'm a sentimental creature, a walking contradiction, strong and weak at the same time. Love trying new things, discovering strange places, exchanging thoughts, and making meaningful connections.

Currently doing my exchange in France, major in theatre. Constantly evolving.

PHILOSOPHY
"It's better to burn out than to fade away."--Kurt Cobain
