About Me

I’ve always lived in a world of doubles, wondering how two feelings, phenomena, situation ships can feel true at the same time.

I have a propensity to question everything about life and my role within it. I feel deeply pulled to my own mortality and often am referred to as someone who may just be flying one inch too close to the sun. For a long time, I feared death so viscerally, that merely uttering the name of he who must not be named propelled me into an unconsolable sputtering panic.

Then I started speaking about death — writing about death. Death and Life are inextricably linked. Two sides of the same coin. Two undeniably brutal and beautiful truths.

The floodgates opened. And I started seeing this pattern everywhere.

I have grown to accept, and appreciate the fact that two things can be true at the same time, particularly when it comes to feelings — rather than scientific fact. I want to make that abundantly clear — in this house, we believe science is real.

But when it comes to feelings, and finding meaning from the messy, ugly, complicated, completely out-of-our-control aspects of daily life, I find approaching my feelings dualistically is unbelievably freeing.

Understanding that Two Truths can coexist has unlocked so much freedom for me — the ability to have multifaceted beliefs, admit desires and wants that might be logistically conflicting, and to treat every one of life’s challenges with more compassion and bipartisanship.

Two Truths have allowed me to step into a role as the arbitrator of my own life, cluing me into every decision and the nuance that underpins my being.

I hope that Two Truths will help unlock some beauty for you too. Not to mention, I’ve got incredible taste :)
