About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bear witness to the beauty of every moment <3

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurer, martial artist, philosopher, conversationalist, and most importantly,a human BEing.

I recently graduated university and have now dedicated my life to creating moments of beauty with people who share my passion for the magic and mystery of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Passion, Adventure, Integrity, Respect.

Passion.
Without passion, there is nothing worthwhile. Find something you are passionate about, and pursue it. Do not undertake anything unless you are willing to give everything you have for it. Intensity. I am an extremely passionate person, in every sense of the word. Sometimes I get hurt as a result, and sometimes, so do others. But in the end, neither loses, because undertaking anything with a great passion, and passionately taking in every moment, there is never a loss.

Adventure.
Life is a glorious and tumultuous adventure, and I live it as such. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." These words were uttered by Mark Twain many years ago, and the message is still incredibly relevant. Live life that way, and you will never be bored. Boredom is simply the lack of motivation to better your present situation.

Integrity.
Not limited to simply moral integrity. More akin to structural integrity. Do not crumble under any circumstance. I strive to constantly remind myself not to compromise for anything, or anyone. I will define the terms of my reality. Defines the terms. Define the terms of your existence, and never forget or compromise them. The terms may change, but they do so on my own accord, not because I am compromising them as a result of an external force. Integrity. Remember it.

Respect.
I demand that people treat me with respect. Respect my time, respect my property, and respect me. I do not associate with people who do not give me the respect I demand. In return, I will respect you, your time, and your property. I will not lower myself by disrespecting you if you do not give me the respect I demand, I will simply remove you from my life. Done.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing all great moments seem to have in common is a rhythm, a beat, a flow, that penetrates into your soul, or perhaps emanates from it.

Timeless, effortless, your being dissolves into the moment, you no longer experience it, you ARE it.

Moments like these are are both fleeting and eternal, bodies merge into one and taste infinity, and what it is to "be" is finally clear.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am here as a student of life, and seek those who share the same love of learning from our great teacher, life itself.
