CURRENT MISSION

I want to live. Not in ways that I'm told I'm supposed to but by each moment I observe.

ABOUT ME

I probably can't tell you all about me but what is important is that I love to talk with people. Being a psychology major brought me the understanding that people are not to be fixed but rather experienced. That was crucial in my understanding of my own condition as well as that of other people.

I hope to never stop learning from people and I feel the more I get out the more I can learn and the further away from egocentricity I can become. I hope that my travels bring me closer to truly helping others and helping myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Shit. it's always changing and I can never tack it down but to be honest I know that all life suffers and that it attempts to escape that suffering. For my part I hope that I can reduce the suffering that I know i cause by existing and maybe if I'm lucky I can help alleviate that suffering to all i come in contact with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have heard the calls of Kiwis in the wilderness. I have watch countless sunsets on lake Erie. I have the leaves change in Pennsylvania I have looked down into the river valleys of Kahurangi National park. I have seen the dwellings of ancient Americans at mesa verde and the petrified forest. I have looked down into the Grand Canyon twice. I have seen Niagara falls often. I got to see Mount Rushmore. I got to go to Arlington, see the grave of the Unknown Soldier and witness the changing of the guards. I have seen many forms of life and Have barely understood any of them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about outdoor survival. I can talk about many things college has taught me in the discipline of psychology, I would love to learn how to cook more varieties of food. If you like to talk about meta things spirituality and religion i enjoy sharing these conversations.
