About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep this nice momentum goin' :)

ABOUT ME

I try to live as human as possible, I choose to be happy and run and live by plants and dance and cook and push myself to be better every day. I like to learn by asking questions and by watching. I like to wonder around and see where the fluid nature of the city takes me. There was a time in my life where I traveled alone for 10 months, I was able to see many different ways people lived. I like to try to find the best of all I can in life. I try not to waste time. I like to let music move me when I dance.

PHILOSOPHY

MAKE AN IMPACT OR FADE AWAY.

everybody is just trying to do the best they can and nobody has time to judge. so just do the things that make you happy because you'll have to give it all up someday.

and engage strangers, you never know when you will be moved!

"Vulnerability is Power"
Saul Williams

If you never try, how can you give it one more try?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once was a very different person than I am now. I am who I am today because I made myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

With the spirit of a scientist I am constantly looking for the best solution. Sometimes I think of it (until I find a better one) and sometimes someone shows me. I can teach you my apple eating technique, I cant see how it can be improved at this point :)

I learn by making mistakes and asking questions, mistakes are opportunities and questions are queries for solutions. I suppose I want to learn how to do the things I do better and about the things I haven't though of yet. There are teachers all around us.

***There a few things I know, there are much more that I don't know; but there is a world of information that I don't even know that I don't know... those are the things that I want to learn.***
