I have continually lost those I care for, through mistakes, misdeeds, and systemic issues. I am far from perfect, but I try to be honest and accountable for the harm I am responsible for and the healing I need to do. I am most likely AuDHD and have been a beneficiary of some of the slimly-funded social services offered to children to improve their speaking and motorskill issues as a child. I believe this has helped facilitate a 'growth-mindset' in me. I have struggled with mental health but I have found an Eternal Spring within my Neverending Winter. I realized I didn't want to die but rather wanted to live in a different way and help facilitate a better world.

I would like to close my biography with a quote from George L. Jackson I quite enjoy:

"Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act. Do what must be done, discover your humanity and your love in revolution."
