THE VOID AROUND HAPPINESS
A Glimpse of What Lies Ahead
Welcome. This will be a place for me to share short stories, poetry, and the philosophies I have on life, love, lust, and the most complicated ways to make it through a day.

ABOUT ME
I am a writer, a philosopher, and a photographer. I believe that the most beautiful growth comes from the most complicated of situations. I believe that life is lived by the risks we take, and the good times we experience are what lead us into the next day. I believe that humanity can be a compassionate species capable of doing wondrous things, but I also believe that most act with the most selfish intentions. I believe humanity should strive to be better every day, and it is with great hope that the writings I place here can bring about a hint of that.
