About Me



Nè altro ha il gentil core
Che l’innamori e arda e che ’l consigli,
Ch’un volto che negli occhi lor somigli.

-Michelangelo Buonarroti, 1475-1564

life is chaos. chaos is change. change is growth. growth is life.

i am tall. i like heels. don't complain.

"Enjoy every sandwich."
-Warren Zevon

i keep searching for philosophies, just to discover that they were here all along. all i had to do was uncover them.

i am simple and unique. there is no way to describe me in a way you'll understand. but i am someone who will change your life.
