about me
Who am i?
To answer the question easiest ask the root question.
If i could be, who could i be?
There’s always been this active i that acts upon, propelled by vigor. This question was most prevalent in my youth; I wanted to be the nerd, the athlete, the anithesis of A, the synthesis of B and so on. But i learned that my personality isn’t the comfort of one but rather the walk along the trail finding myself in the exploration of it all. Comfort in the uncomfortable.
I’m an explorer of my mind through the world. Experiences like pain, both physical and mental teach me about myself and what I’m made of and in the process I get to see cool places.
There should be no element of slavery in learning. Enforced exercise does no harm to the body, but enforced learning will not stay in the mind. So avoid compulsion, and let your children’s lessons take the form of play.
To preserve a childlike sense of wonder is difficult. Knowledge has a way of dissolving innocence; no idea is ever entirely new. Given enough time or pressure, thoughts are etched into us by culture, history, and repetition. But I never stop dreaming, never stop deluding myself of my abilities. And yet at the same time, learning remains a foundational part of me. Almost anything becomes fascinating when examined patiently, and this sustained attention cultivates a deeper appreciation—not for what things promise to be, but for what they are and how they came to exist.
“Curious learning not only makes unpleasant things less unpleasant, but also makes pleasant things more pleasant.” Betrand Russell
The [[17 runs]] lay on the outskirts of my city, a remote trail that first revealed to me what it meant for land to be truly alone. From it grew the quiet fantasy of going where no one had gone—a notion I still keep close. That journey taught me how to step into the unknown. It was there I understood that the ache and fever of curiosity were no sickness at all, but a calling, one that sent me out into the world and, by a darker turn, back into my own mind—a place I had not intended to enter .
