About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live sincerely, unrestrained, and curiously, however and wherever I find myself.

ABOUT ME

As a Fine Arts major, I gravitate towards any form of creativity, always pushing myself to experience as much as possible. I am a keen observer and although comfortable being alone, I cherish all the people in my life. I highly value the honest moments, when the show is over and the masks come off - whether they are quiet, passionate, painful, sensible, ecstatic. Most of the time I am overwhelmed by the astounding beauty of life... I cannot wait to get the world under my feet.
