ABOUT ME

i am interested in other people. i love listening and giggling and playing board games and kids games and brain games and drinking games. i also really like to ride bikes, and plant food and make food and eat food. i like to build things and compost and rearrange rooms and help on projects. i love to read. i love doing massage therapy, and i also like to sleep. i prefer hot weather over cold weather. i like dogs and cats and snakes and just about everything else, but am still working on not being totally freaked out by arachnids. i drink tea, not coffee, mostly. i dont smoke cigarettes, and i just recently learned how to sew.

im into human rights. i eat a lot of peanut butter. i think a lot, and very intentionally, about what i do and how i spend my time. im excited to meet you.

PHILOSOPHY

im trying to be here, as present as possible, and as with everyone as i can be. im trying to live the life i think that i want, which means that instead of doing all the things i think i "should do" in order to be responsible, im doing what i think would be most fun and most awesome and most righteous and most well.
