I spend a great deal of time in my own head which isn’t always wise of course.I navigate my internal landscape to understand myself, the world, and the intricate relationship between the two (or is there really no separation?) Through this constant introspection, I’ve realized that my existence gravitates toward three primary pillars: Learning, Creating, […]
