... it is, after all, not necessary to fly right into the middle of the sun, but it is necessary to crawl into a clean little spot on Earth where the sun sometimes shines and one can warm oneself a little.

I bet I will live again. I bet I will appear in full gear, the armor of ugly indefinite livability, the real body, alive or in decay---I'll appear like a thundering, I'll save myself. And you. And you.

- Bianca Stone, from 'What is Otherwise Infinite: Poems; 'Artichokes''

What I regret most in life are failures of kindness. Those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering and I responded... sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly.

- George Saunders, 'Congratulations, by the way'

hm. i think every time i feel an impulse to people please, to be unproblematic and likable and charming and feel the safety that comes with universal adoration, i need to remind myself that i want to be loved like a person, not like a dog.

Welcome

Welcome to my personal website! I'm very fond of personal websites as a medium for personal and creative expression. On this website (which is still in development), I'm hoping to share some of the things that I find interesting, everything from books and shows I've enjoyed, to art I've drawn or am working on, to my class notes; and maybe even a blog, someday. I hope that you have a nice visit to my website! Come back and visit anytime!

To navigate between pages, click on any of the links above (on the top left of the coloured header!). I'm hoping to eventually add a sitemap too!

Now that I've got this website reasonably fleshed out, I'm hoping to work on the mobile site next. Stay tuned!

About Me

Ain't there some quote about "if you want honest art sometimes you get cringe and sometimes you get pretensiousness"? Well, here's a bit of both:

I love a big sky. I like to walk and watch the weather come in over the mountains. I'll bring tinned smoked oysters and cheese on a hike. One of my favourite trees is the trembling aspen. I love snow. I love driving at the crack of dawn in the summer, right into the sun; I love driving at midnight in the winter. I hate the sound of traffic.

I drink coffee as dictacted by my exhaustion, but I prefer tea: genmaicha or a jasmine-lychee blend or earl grey tea. Cooking food late at night brings me peace. I make art with pencil crayons and pencils and a lot of erasing. I struggle to paint. I used to read so much and so quickly and now I dont read much anymore. I used to think I wanted to become an author. I enjoy listening to to hard rock or swing jazz or movie soundtracks or Shostakovich or 70s rock or disco or the sound of the heater in my room in winter.

When you're deeply sensitive, love is ecstasy. Music is godlike. Heartache is a wide, somatic wound. Visual natural beauty is jewel-drenched bliss. Tension and conflict are muscle tightening and toxic, straight down to the cells. So how do you hold it all? You rinse, recenter, and remain clear. You recycle your sensitivity by propelling yourself and others to create waves of change in a super starving world.
