Bio
Inside me is an endless fire burning, encased in crystal it shines through the chasm of my soul. You see the light and you think that is me, but I am the chasm, I am crystal, and most importantly I am the fire. And the fire burns within me.

Know Thyself
“We live in a society...” where social pressures are increasingly magnified, not by social media itself, but by the way we choose to use it. Technology is making our personal lives increasingly more transparent, thus exposing more and more of our personal little secrets. And as this trend continues to mold our culture, people, especially the younger generations, will be more and more tempted to center their lives around social approval rather than ethics, morality, or any objective standard of right and wrong. This is a fate for the weak minded, and the weak-willed. Those of us who fail take control over our own minds are those of us who will be the most miserable in life. A system is only as strong as the sum of its parts, not the inverse. The parts do not and cannot derive their structural integrity from the overall strength of the system. An individual never derives his strength from that of the group, but rather the strength of the group derives from the individuals which it is composed of. For this reason it is important for each of us to take the time to know ourselves—to know what we want, where we came from, who we are, who we want to be, and how to achieve that.
