Describe your perfect day.
- I get up when my alarm is set. I start off strong. Have a little breakfast action and some coffee action to keep me going through the morning. It’s a day where I feel like I’ve done something. Maybe in a smaller context or even as one small cog in a larger system. I’m happy.
If you could only eat one food for the rest pf your life, which would you choose and why?
- Probably pasta. C’mon. Its so diverse. So many different ways you can mess with it. Easy.
If there was one thing you’d want people to know, what would it be?
- I like people. I like being around people, meeting people, and making connections. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that I trust people or that I consider everybody my friend. Its very hard to get to know a person and understand whether or not you can actually rely on them when you need them. Worst thing that’s happened to me was when I needed to rely on a friend, or someone I thought was a friend rather, I couldn’t. That broke me.
What is the difference between living and existing?
- Living has a purpose while existing is something you do by default. Living is a choice. Everybody exists, by nature. If you choose to live, you’ve realized there’s an option to not live anymore.
What motivates you to get up in the morning?
- Coffee.
What do you think it means to live a good life?
- Damn, that’s an interesting question. To live a life that your children would be proud of.
What do you imagine yourself doing 10 years from now?
- Helping people. I think existence in general is pain, to put it simply. Seeing all the atrocities going on in the world right now (and in the United States), it’s easy to think that there’s no point in leaving a better footprint. I hope that 10 years from now I’ll be in a position where I’ve worked past all that, and I’ve used all the suffering and negative experiences in my life to help those around me. To set them up to live their best lives.
If you could travel to one place in the world (all expenses paid), where would you go and why?
- I want to go to Cuba. They live a unique life that can’t be replicated anywhere else. The island life is something very agreeable with my mindset.
