My name is Joseph and I hate being named after someone else.
I’m twenty-one years old and hardly credulous that I’m still alive.
My main passions in life include all sorts of mental and emotional exits, portals to elude reality. I like escaping in the pages of books, the ink of written words, the dust of memories, and the pixels of video games.
I am self-oriented, introverted, quiet, and crave solitude to maintain my inner harmony. Friends and family are nice, but my sanity requires a lot of alone time.
I am currently a student at Florida International University, working on my Bachelor’s of Arts in English. I hope to be some sort of published writer in the future.
I believe in the role of the careful outside observer, the wallflower.
I dabble in misanthropy and find humanity sometimes terrifying, sometimes hilarious.
I don’t believe in religion for myself anymore, having succumbed to esoteric views of existentialism.
I have a high threshold for weirdness. It would take a lot to freak me out or make me feel unsettled.
I like to listen to the spirits shaking in my head. It's just difficult sometimes to hear the soft whispers when you're directly caught in the clamorous din of life.
