Sometimes I think, am I having an existential crisis?
Or… am I just hungry?
Either way, I find myself pondering the big questions in life, like why the sky is blue and what to order for dinner. (sushi or pizza?) I don’t steer clear of problems rather I work like a detective. I try to figure out the problem, clues, and solution to help me better understand the world. I mean, why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways?
When I'm not working you can catch me:
Drinking iced or hot coffee with only oat milk
Listening to 90's pop rock on a loop
Drawing whatever comes to mind
Meditating by walking through hiking trails in my hometown -- Staten Island NY
Watching an action comedy with romance sprinkled in
