About
I like to think of myself as a kind soul, kindred spirit even, who remains somewhat preposterous in his belief that he’s actually good at something.
Don’t read this statement as cocky, I wouldn’t like you to think this is coming from an unhealthy coping mechanism. No, this is the healthy confidence in acknowledging my greatest qualities and somewhat lesser-admired but still great flaws.
Mental health is at the core of what I do, whether it’s my writing, my other creative forms of expression, or my daily life and people’s interactions. Never will you find me disagreeing with you for the sole purpose of needing to be right.
During the day, you might sometimes find me in the middle of a “creative madness”, which more or less describes my process of “vomiting” ideas and thoughts on paper or any other piece of media available at the time, such as the google document I am writing this in right now.
It’s that beautiful moment of sudden inspiration kick-sparking the not-so-young-anymore grinds in my brain. I imagine it as a very vivid ignition of neon colors across my neurons.
Now that you’ve got the picture of a somewhat pretentious peek (not to be confused with a peak) into my psyche, let me peg it down a notch by sharing the pinnacle of my writing prowess, my Tinder Bio, which starts with a sentence:
“The Fermi Paradox of people - still single, despite all odds.”
I congratulate those who get the joke and I am sorry to those of you facepalming at the moment. Nevertheless, I hope you were able to get a sense of my style of writing - honest, raw, but professional at the times that the situation calls for it.
Tonal shift is not unbeknownst to me, and neither is the Permian Extinction. Yes, I love paleontology, and for some reason, this felt like the perfect time to incorporate it.
Among other things, I enjoy breaking the fourth wall, dancing (particularly Vogue), editing videos, contemplating the vastness of the universe, and speaking out on LGBTI+ matters as a proud member of the community.
As a positive nihilist, I believe that life does not need to have a meaning for us to enjoy it. We’re all gonna die anyway. Why not make the most of it before getting to that point?
If you got all the way down here, a round of applause to you, let me leave you off with the two pieces of wisdom I have acquired in those humble thirty years of my life.
When it comes to work, I stand by the principle that “limitation breeds creativity”.
When it comes to life, I believe that true happiness can be found in peace of mind, clarity, and confidence in knowing your strengths. If you keep looking for it without, just try to look within.
