ABOUT ME

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my angsty teenage years, I once met up with an artist whom I absolutely adored. We shared a short but thorough journey in shedding the truths about human existence and uncovering life's greatest philosophy. He taught me everything I knew and was such a great influence to me. I memorised all that he spoke and it formed the core of my beliefs. One morning, I woke up and realised that I adored him to the extent that I wanted not to be like him, but to be him... kinda doppelgänger-ish.
