CURRENT MISSION

Branching out but staying cool.

ABOUT ME

Young human, loves her five senses, open-minded, risk-taker but only a little impulsive, honest, solitary. Confusing disdain for everything multicellular.

PHILOSOPHY

This changes all the time - as soon as I experience a little personal growth, I can hardly relate to the person I was prior.

At this point, it comes down to me valuing instinctive inclinations - respecting other humans, valuing life to the extent that feels right for me, and working towards equality. Those influence everything from my views on sustainability to sexism. But I also make sure to not let fascism creep in, even if it's fascist liberalism.
