About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out how to be a subtle revolutionary.

ABOUT ME

I'm a quiet thinker and dreamer.

PHILOSOPHY

Anais Nin says it best:
"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations."
