• I always enjoy talking about...

  I love talking about the things that make people passionate. You like rocks? Tell me all about them. You have a collection of stamps? Tell me their stories! If you are an advocate for human rights, practice your speech with me! I love people, and i love to make them smile.

• A personal challenge

  A personal challenge that is ongoing in my life is my struggle with depression. No matter how hard it gets, though, I always manage to pull through.

• I'm an expert at...

  I'm an artist! I make and sell art to help make ends meet.

• My interests in other cultures

  I love learning about different religions, especially pagan religions. I've taken a special interest in Japanese and Greek Mythology and I love discussing philosophy.

• My proudest accomplishments

  Graduating highschool, overcoming hardships, and becoming a nurse aide.

• Cities and countries I have visited

  I was born in Fairfax Virginia, but I grew up in Southwestern Pennsylvania. I've been to Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Washington DC, and Maryland; I saw the capitol of each of those states and the capitol of my country.

• Favourite books/authors/films

  I love the Chronicles of Narnia series, and most things that fit in the fantasy genre. I grew up reading Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Ranger's Apprentice, The Hobbit, etc.

• Living abroad for one year

  If I could go anywhere to live abroad, I would absolutely pick a European country because it's so easy to travel to other countries once you're there. Perhaps I'd start in Italy and go from there?
  I'd also love to stay in Japan for a year.

• Making the world a better place

  I really don't know what could make the world a better place. Anything I could say on the topic is easily refutable. At best, all I can do is hypothesize and discuss the philosophical reasons of why an idea could or couldn't work as a solution.

• Personal skills

  I can do anything once It's been explained to me and I test it out.
  Baking cakes, art, making furniture, etc.
  I'm a quick learner.

• Childhood pleasures

  Oh, definitely anime. It probably rotted my brain!

• I recently learnt...

  I've been using mindful meditation recently and I've found that inflection can be difficult, but rewarding.

• 10 years from now

  I'd like to have a home, a beautiful and expansive garden decorated with fairy lights, a personal library, and a partner with whom to share hot cocoa with on comfy rainy evenings.

• I'm excited about...

  I'm excited to move more of my things into the place I recently started renting.

• Something uncommon about me

  I'm interested in philosophy, MMA, weight training, art, and anime.
  I'm an eclectic person.

• It was better before

  I feel that the older generation only romanticizes the "old days" and it isn't an objective statement to say that the "old days" were better than today.

• It is better now

  The subjective reality is that things are better in some ways, as in human rights and pollution control.

• I wish people knew more about...

  I wish people understood themselves and each other a little better.

• As a child, I wish...

  I've made mistakes as a teenager that I sincerely regret, but they are what made me who I am and I wouldn't change it for the world.

• A career without obstacles

  Ideally, I'd love to be a dermatologist- But i am content with being a nurse aide.

• My parents and me

  My father doesn't believe in psychology, and I do. My mom and I disagree as far as morals. (I feel mine are stronger than hers.)

• My feeling about the future

  I am trying to be optimistic. 2020 was a pain in the butt, but I'm hoping things only get better from here.

• My opinion on human nature

  Humans are born selfish, and learn to be kind. That's what makes certain people so special, and that's why kindness is such a beloved trait. It can be hard sometimes, but if you are capable of being kind, then I am proud of you.

• I feel concerned about...

  I'm concerned about my future, my friends' future, and the world's future.

• A trick or piece of advice

  Drink a glass of water, right now. You'll feel better.

• Life regrets

  The way the I behaved when I was growing up was absolutely terrible. I didn't understand that not all attention is good attention.

• Improving the school system

  How to do taxes should be taught in highschool! That was hard to teach myself the first time i filed.

• Over or underrated

  Popularity is underrated. The "popular" kids are popular for a reason. They probably get along with their peers, participate in groups, etc. Just because someone is a cheerleader, that does not mean they are a bully. And it would be prejudice of you to assume so.

• Something to tell the world!

  Love yourself.
