More about me: I am a dreamer and a creative cat moving through life with an “open to outcome” philosophy. I spend my time hiking mountains, playing video games, and abundantly listening to the same rotating musical albums. My favorite quote:
“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.” – Angela Y. Davis
