About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I must make my own way at my own risk + laugh like a child at the absurdity of existence!

ABOUT ME

no idea of what I am in reality
everything interests me
nothing holds me
living in a condition of perpetual departure
fugitive by vocation
dedicated to dispersion
taking life as it comes
adventurous in sensation
looking for self transcendence+ metamorphosis
PHILOSOPHY

I believe that:,
- the most desirable thing in the world is freedom. intellectual life is about freedom to be critical: criticism is intellectual life.
-the only difference between human beings is intelligence, which is innate and comes from intuition
- The central point is to travel, to emigrate to remain in a sense in exile
