Journalism | Poetry | Art

My avid literary endeavors entail writing fiction, essays, and poetry, reading literary fiction and philosophy, and traversing thematic, stylistic, and aesthetic variation in literature and the arts across time. I also enjoy creating articles for my school newspaper, painting, delving into history, and broadening my understanding of the mind’s operative and registrative capabilities. I plan to grow my capacity to distill the fiber of experience into art and seek publications willing to print my work. Artistic creation and psychological analysis are the activities that bring me the greatest sense of purpose, and I intend to pursue them throughout the remainder of my life.
