You know that trend where people ask strangers to introduce themselves without touching on their job or hobbies? Being somewhat of an introvert, I've never been asked to participate in this activity irl, but recently I've spent some time thinking about how I would respond if I found myself in such a situation.

Lucky. That's how I would describe myself. Lucky especially in regards to the people I've been surrounded by throughout my life. From my incredibly supportive family, my friends who constantly light up my world, the teachers and mentors who inspre me, the incredibly cool people I randomly encouter in the most unexpected places...

Those who know me, know that I have an uncanny hit rate for "small world" encounters. You're probably one of those people, too.

So even though I have no idea who is reading this right now, hi! Thanks for stopping by my little nook of the internet.
