My dad was in the navy for I think 20+ years and because of that, my family lived all over the Pacific before I was born.  I'm the only one of my siblings born out of the US; instead, I was born in Japan.  Though I haven't been since we left when I was 14 months old, I have dreams of going back and I've taken a huge interest in Japanese culture.  I love the art, the food, the architecture, and the fashion in Japan and I think that they have some of the best stories and folktales.
One of these days, I'm hoping to do a study abroad there.  If I don't get the chance to do that, I'll just figure out another way to get there.

From the time I could hold a crayon in my hand, I was creating art.  It's always been such a huge part of who I am and even though it's hard to find time to make art while working and going to school, I think the way I look at the world and people is very much a result of being a creator.
I don't have any easily accessible pictures of my best artwork, but this is my favorite painting of all time.  I love the colors and the mood it radiates and it's been my lock screen on my phone for two years.

I will always be 10 years old at heart with all my interests.  I love cartoons, movies and video games.  Some of my favorites of these are Adventure Time,  Harry Potter, Bob's Burgers, Zelda, and Pokemon.
I've made a lot of friends through these interests.  One of my greatest friends named Kandy and create costumes and go to conventions every year.  We sometimes even create stickers and pins and art prints for different shows and video games and we sell at the vendors' booths.
Here's one that we made from this anime called Merman in my Tub.  We made the tail by hand and got first place in the cosplay contest.

Over the past couple years, I started to become aware of many of society's problems. Some of them are super big and daunting and sometimes feels like I can't make a difference. Something I feel like I could do to help is by starting to become more environmentally friendly and making small changes in my life that'll help make a difference. I'm much more conscious about what I recycle, I always use paper bags, and I'm cutting down significantly on meat.

Despite many years years of being confused and all my efforts I've put into trying to like girls, I am gay.  I think certain elements of what's deemed as "gay culture" have more of a place in my life than others, but the fact of the matter is that it's what I am and it's much more comfortable to embrace than it is to suppress.  I'm very interested in LGBT activism and the drag community that exists in the 21st century is so wildly artistic and creative that I have a lot of queens and club kids that inspire my art.  I'm even thinking about dabbling in drag myself one of these days.
Since the rainbow flag is strenuous on the eyes, here's a picture of one of the most important moments in gay culture.
