About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"A stranger is a friend that I've yet to meet."

ABOUT ME

I'm a Bard college student in my third year studying Classics and pre-med.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to enjoy the small things in life. I think they amplify life's joys. I think sharing stories and experiences with people is one of the quintessential things in life. Life is for living, and for sharing those experiences and learning from one another.

"trust your heart / if the seas catch fire / (and live by love / though the stars walk backward)" -- e.e. cummings

"we are here
to laugh
at the odds
and live our lives
so well that
death
will tremble
to take us" -- Charles Bukowski

"I like nonsense -- it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope… and that enables you to laugh at all of life's realities." -- Dr. Seuss
