Spiritual being having a human experience.

I know there's someone out there, in this neighborhood or not, who would enjoy me immensely and who would get my blood going. Will you just message me already?

I love to read and write, and usually get along best with others who do, too. That being said, I also have enjoyed getting out of my head, being human and being embodied more and more as I get older. I'm a night owl. INT/FP. Trickster. Proud Virgo. From the woods! I also like to skateboard and play the drums.

One of my favorite things is to be talked to and asked questions. Not rhetorical or leading questions, questions that the person already knows the answer to, but genuine questions asked in good faith.

I love to be quiet, calm peaceful. Yet, my very love for these modes, its very existence suggestive and persuasive enough, makes me love the possibility of being nothing like them. Of being radically different. Unrecognizable. As different as thoughts that follow one another. And vice versa.

(By the way, if you have to do something stupid, it makes you feel less stupid if you act stupid while you do it. Try it!)

I want to do at least one of two things: Heal and Teach. Right now I'm taking some psychology courses, preparing for graduate school, and working on some personal projects.

I used to think that I'd be some kind of academic in higher ed. I took my major really seriously and myself a little too seriously while I was doing my undergrad. My happiness was tied to thinking. That's not what I want anymore.

Anyway, right now I'm back in school because I decided I want to be a clinical psychologist.
