CURRENT MISSION

To learn, love, and adventure; to share my knowledge and my joy.

ABOUT ME

I have a lot of passions and very few hobbies. I consider myself ethical rather than moral. I'm a dual citizen of Germany and the United States, but I haven't left the US since I was seven. In three years I might be moving into a sustainable capitalist co-op community, and no, that's not an oxymoron.
I am a lover,
a queer person,
disgustingly wholesome,
a theatre kid,
a stitch witch,
a cook,
and most importantly a happy person.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is really, really interesting, and the best thing you can do is have fun with it. I almost entirely do things I feel really good about doing, and I love it.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Life in general never ceases to amaze me.

One of the most awe-inspiring things to me is the relationships I have with people I love who love me too. I feel like I have a genuinely supportive and accepting network of friends, and that is more special to me than I can describe.
