*under construction*

been living in the city for 3 years and have trouble imagining myself anywhere else. it's the mix of energy, challenge, diversity, and possibility that keeps me here.

i’m feeling happier, less anxious, and more content as i'm growing up, so i’m taking that as a sign that i’m heading in the right general direction. enjoying exploring my passions: singing / writing music (i have a killer range of 3.5 octaves), working out, programming (work), and sketching / painting occasionally. i used to go hunting and camping all the time as a kid, and i really want to find a group of friends to head to the mountains with. one goal is to spend more time outdoors this summer - skating and biking along the west side, jogging or throwing a ball in the park, lounging and reading on a pier.

fascinated by how the world works, but more so how we all navigate it. i’m pretty introspective and love hearing about other people’s experiences.

i don't have all my shit figured out

you're physically fit, nurturing, and can laugh at yourself. and are wicked cool (you know who you are)
