My name is Joseph and I hate being named after someone else.
I’m twenty 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.
