CURRENT MISSION

To hopefully gain some insight into the point of it all by not projecting everything into some distant future goal, and appreciating the present I have.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently trying on the scary profession of musician, and it's working for now! I play folk music, check it out on iTunes and Spotify and all that stuff, just type in my name :)

Other than that, I strive to be patient, understanding, impulsive, creative, kind and grateful.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a couple of main "mottos" or so that roughly guide my life:

I am a mortal enemy of ignorance. I would rather go insane from knowing the truth than to live easily based on fabrications.

I believe that really interacting and communicating with others like ourselves is a magical thing, and something that should be sought after and treasured every day.

We have no control over our lives, except minor details; any perceived control beyond that is an illusion. That being said, the only reaction is to be grateful and enjoy the adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the fall of 2009, when I was studying abroad, I saw both the most powerful sunrise (in the middle of nowhere, in the Australian Outback) and most beautiful sunset (in Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia) I have ever seen in my life. Both took my breath away.
