i can be a lot of things to different people but mostly i'm just overzealous.
every song i listen to has a memory attached to it.
i spend my time studying people more often than not and try to make sense of the intricate tangle that is their mind.
i want to move to a city next to the ocean so that i can smell sea salt everyday.
i'm a sucker for people who can put words together.
i'm an honours life sciences student at mcmaster university.
i eventually want to go into anatomy or genetics, and my absolute dream is to do cancer research.
i value passion, impulsiveness, and being willing to make mistakes.
i'd rather experience something than always wonder what it would be like.
i tend to overanalyze everything way too much.
i think penguins are cool.
i hate things like these because there is no way you can transcribe an entire person into a box with just black letters.
anything that you can ever learn about a person is always just the tip of the iceberg.
i spent most of my childhood in imaginary forts and secret passages, saving cats from burning buildings, watching lions in the deserts of africa, climbing mount everest, walking with the egyptians, swimming with the whales in an expansive sea. my imagination was fueled by every page i turned, by the worlds i was immersed in on a daily basis. i realized that there were different ways of saying things, through mediums that lack words. this fascination sparked creativity in me and an independent thought process far different from the one i was fed. i made an image early on in my life of where i want to end up in this world, and this is just a way of writing my story.
it's where you are
not where you're going
not where you're from
you are what you love
and that is all
