CURRENT MISSION

To survive my greatest adventure

ABOUT ME

I am described by friends as a ""free spirit"". I am 23 years old. I like to go on adventures. I do all kinds of art, including drawing and painting, but in school, I specialized in performance and installation art. I am enjoying my vast art history lesson here, but I enjoy edgy, raw, contemporary art the most. I like all animals, especially gatti [cats]. I enjoy offending people and looking at trash, but I am very sweet and easy-going.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live in the moment; I do not dwell in the past nor worry to much about the future. I give people the benefit of the doubt and always see their potential and the ways they can improve upon themselves. No one can improve without love so I try to love everyone as much as I can muster. I have recently realized that my own unhappiness comes from how I see and appraise the world, so I am working on that too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did mushrooms with my father. Our relationship had fallen apart during high school and we decided to take some mushrooms together to see what it would be like (I had done it a few times in college and he had done them a lot in his youth). It was amazing. We sang, and laughed, and cried. We have been much closer since.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can draw and paint. I know a lot about psychology. I am learning to be a therapist, so anything related to that. I know a bit about identifying plants and animals, In the states, I know a bit about edibles and medicinals.
