About Me



it seems that i've been so many things already in this life, it's a little unfair that i still feel unsettled about what it is i say i do. maybe i am slowly approaching the great "i am" moment where labels will no longer be necessary. for now, i'll just tell you that my struggle entails racing to write a book before i die.
