Bio

I am a student in Media and Culture in international affairs, also. I like poetry and art and how it expands how we can and do view reality. Connecting the psychedelic to the political and cultural, and psychedelic studies in general. I am pretty positive, but anyone who isn't at least a little angry at the world we live in has some serious problems. Also, I <3 you.

If you want to know more, I am sure you'll ask.

Skills and talents
