I love art. Its simple and its the language of the unheard, the outliers and those who dare to dream and live boldly, or simply, but live nonetheless. So dare to dream of good and just, write art through your code, write art through your studies, write them in the

After a personal crisis that really hit home, the past couple of weeks I've been obsessing over a Japanese idea called the ‘ikigai’. This roughly translates to your reason for living. It's one of those novel ideas that you come across in a random YouTube suggestion bar or book as
