    Other What Purpose Do You Think You Have Right Now?

    I think my purpose is, simply, to create and spread as much joy, positivity, and kindness as I can. If I can make the world a little bit brighter today than it was yesterday, even if just for one person, then I've done something good. And part of that has to be practicing self compassion, of...

    Other Why did you choose your avatar?

    Other Tell us about your pet peeves!

    My pet peeve is when people are simply, unnecessarily, unkind. Like, when you have the chance to simply smile or say something nice or show appreciation for another person and brighten their day and you don’t? Like, really, if it won’t cost you anything or harm you in any way, why would you not...

    Other Write with a damn pen & paper.

    I’m a student, and I do take notes by hand. But mostly, I use pens to draw more than I use them to write.
