Me in 10 seconds
Nationalities. Jobs. Beliefs. I could lean on these. Or I could tell you I’ve been relocating my entire life... long ago as luggage, then habit, most recently out of will.
I think a lot. Sometimes too much.
For a long time, I observed, considered, and worried more about how others perceived me than about who I actually was. I’m still an in-betweener, but I’ve stopped trying to reach the nearest shore. I’m setting up home on the horizon.
That history shapes how I move through the world. How I human.
I lean into contradictions. I surrender to uncertainty. I explore.
Titles are not my thing, but if I had to choose three for this season of life: father, storyteller, amateur.
