About Me


I'm an extroverted misanthrope,
A mixture of dizzying highs, and unreasonable lows.
And when amidst the latter, I tend to drink away what I cannot think away
I'm currently indulgent in a one thread lifestyle
But equally seeking the presence of something not instantaneously fathomable; my mind is only at peace when it cannot rest.
The life of a paradox it would seem.
