CURRENT MISSION

PHILOSOPHY

I'm too young to have a personal philosophy. Anything I write down here now will make me embarrassed in 15 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just got back from three and a half days in Paris, and Notre Dame is absolutely mind-blowing in person. Even an amateur photographer can get professional-looking photos from a climb up the towers because the framing's basically all done for you. Also, I'm a chimera fanatic, so I had a blast skipping among them and attempting to out-snarl them.
