About Me

This section exists as a platform for putting a self out to the world that is presentable. The presentable self is not necessarily the true self, or even an interesting self, but it is a self for others. Words shape a self into an evanescence. Brought into the world as words, it stays as words. This it is not an it of an ontological sense, it vanishes when you attempt to grab at it. So I present a self, you interpret the self. In a sense we share this self, even if what we share is more than 1 nothing.
