ABOUT ME
answers subject to change without notice.
i was born in Connecticut, grew up in Florida,
and live in New York.
On good days, I feel beautiful, light, flirtatious, cool, calm, and natural. I feel like my way of life, my positive attitude, is noticed by others. I feel intellectually stimulated by my words and conversations and media consumed, and I feel like I can reinvent myself on a moments notice - becoming and being a student, teacher, worker, flaneur, socialite, audience member, fun guy, confidante, wizard, and connoisseur of good taste at the same exact time, for everyone. On good days I transcend ideas given to me by society that divide and constrict me - gender, race, sexuality, class, and perception have no importance or even any consideration. I feel connected or tapped-in to the universe and am delighted by the signs and synchronicities that I receive. the roots of my gratitude cover me like spiritual rainjacket that allows me to endure harsh rains. I feel patient, wise, not concerned and very assured.
On bad days, I feel pushed over and taken advantage of by the inherent conditions of the world, and I feel that my efforts to be a good person arent being acknowledged. I carry the stress in my jaw, forehead and shoulders. I feel disenfranchised, and as if I can not assimilate into my experience of time as it unfolds - I feel out of control of my time, so this manifests in overworking myself or neglecting time-sensitive or habitual goals, and being unable to experience true presence - time is experienced as a commentary of itself. I can not get comfortable, any attempts at things like meditative stretching are so performative that they are rendered ineffective. I dont want to talk to others and genuinely do not care to listen to what anyone has to say because I can only think about being away from whatever situatiton I put myself in.
I am not as concerned with my appearance as I once was. Wild and untamed hair makes me feel powerful. I think of notable peoples in history and how they all had crazy hair. I'm grateful for my hair, it has never been this long before. I will let it grow indifinitely. My go-to hairstyle at the moment is to throw it in a slickback with 2 afropuffs, but i like to just wear it natural at home. I struggled with facial hair for a long time but I think it looks decent now. I havent fully shaved my facial hair in at least 10 years. I find that of any facial feature I have, I like my eyebrows the most. I always wanted an eyebrow piercing, but I'm afraid that people may not treat me the same. I feel best in my body when my arms are covered. I wish I was physically stronger, or able to lift heavy things - but I do not wish to have a different build than the one I have now. In regards to health, I am particularly concerned about my weight, poor blood circulation mens sexual health, memory, vision and optics.
