ABOUT ME

I'm easy-going, adventurous. My mind wanders as the clouds, but I know how to stumble on reality.

I grew up in the country, and when I finally moved into that city think, where perception is a style and life seems a ladder, I was old enough not to be so persuaded.

Nowadays, after several attempts to swallow college, and those part-time jobs between, I find myself winding towards the horizon, searching for a place I might call home.

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life? No one else was living it.

Interests

Writing. Dystopias, satires, speculative fiction. The preservation of language and storytelling is becoming more and more important as the older generations perish, as our own generation is diminished towards catchphrases and cute, little text messages.

Backpacking, the smell of pine trees, the scent of the ocean.

Running, pushing my body to the limit. As of late, I've run over thirty marathons and am currently training to run ultras.
