About Me

i'm into hearts that explode. planets that collide, brain synapses, and people that merge into one being.

I want to chase and be chased across continents, provinces, and territories. I want to become a gypsy, belong to no nation, speak 20 languages, and leave traces of my existance on beaches and mountains. I want stories. I want to SHARE stories.

nothing in this world worth having comes easy
