CURRENT MISSION

Be empty and fully present

ABOUT ME

I'm very laid back and extremely open minded. I'm curious by nature and because of this, life excites me in ways that other people tend to overlook.

“If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you” - Nietzsche

" When we remember that we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained. " - Twain

“Beyond a certain point there is no return. This point has to be reached.” – Kafka

"I am an artist. It’s self-evident that what that word implies is looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying, ‘I know all about it. I’ve already found it.’ As far as I’m concerned, the word means, ‘I am looking. I am hunting for it, I am deeply involved." - Gogh

PHILOSOPHY

Love is the most important thing. I have a deep appreciation for life that has been with me my whole life, but was reinforced when I became ill in my early 20s. My life was taken away from me for four years. I have just recovered and am now living a life of passion and devotion towards everything I encounter. This includes people I meet, adventures I get to try, art that I create, and everything in between. I am an extremely curious person and have a deep desire to explore and learn.

“The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.” Nietzche
