CURRENT MISSION

To have my cake and eat it

PHILOSOPHY

I believe people should generally try to minimize the useless suffering of all living creatures without killing oneself in the attempt.
One should also give room for laziness, chance and aimless searching in unexpected places. I can't believe anything good would come from dedicating one's life to doing something that doesn't feel interesting.
