CURRENT MISSION

Be, Write

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer; I write stuff. Purdue graduate. In my free time, I like to read and write poetry. Risk by Katherine Larson is my favorite poem; it about love. The Invisibles is my favorite book; it's about the nature of reality. I also love to draw. My favorite band is Animal Collective, so I listen to the things they sing a lot, but I'm deaf in one ear, so I only need one headphone. I like to hang out with people and meet strangers, but my favorite thing to do is the thing I've never done.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever
