Interviewed by [redacted] and Now, I am Embarrassed

If it would be allowed, I’d like to preface this interview with an understanding that I have not the ability to answer such questions in their entirety, or any question at all for that matter. Perhaps it is more true to say that what you get from me is very dependent on the time, mindscape and stability of energy. However, I can try.




Are you currently exploring who you are and what you want out of life?

I am finding it peculiar that we frame this question as though there were some alternative to exploration. As if consciousness itself isn’t perpetually engaged in the act of discovering its own nature. From the smallest grain of sand shifting on endless shores to the vast cosmic dance of galaxies, what exists that isn’t in constant dialogue with its own becoming?

Even stones, in their ancient patience, explore what they want from existence – wearing away or standing firm against time’s persistence. What higher calling exists than this eternal recursion into self-understanding? What sweeter or more bitter fruit could the divine consciousness offer than this perpetual unfolding?

If you’re asking whether I recognize myself amidst this forest of becoming – yes, you might find me in its deepest reaches. Not lost, but perhaps more clearly seen than seeing. At 3 AM, when the veil between perception and reality grows thin, I catch glimpses of myself that seem both stranger and more familiar than any daylight reflection. These moments aren’t disorientation but rather a crystalline clarity that almost burns with its intensity.

Teaching found me the way water finds its level – not through conscious seeking but through natural gravity. Each time I guide another through their own labyrinth of understanding, I find new chambers of my own. The paradox is recursive: it’s in these moments of helping others find their voice that my own speaks most clearly. 

Are you experiencing instabilities such as changing residences, jobs, or dating?

Life has this way of throwing you exactly where you need to be, even if it feels like chaos at the time. One day I was studying literature at the city library and the next I was reshaping and administering an entire school’s English curriculum. 

My personal life ebbs and flows like tides – relationships form and dissolve based on who can handle the intensity of my pressures. I’ve learned to trust these apparent instabilities. They’re like the way waves shape coastlines – what looks like erosion is actually creation in process.

Do you feel that you are more self-focused than at other times in their life?

This question is very difficult for me to answer. 

Yes, at 25, I feel this to be this case and especially so. I have to, no? 

Have you felt in-between adolescence and adulthood?

I exist in the spaces between defined states – not just age-wise, but in most aspects of life. There’s something powerful about not quite fitting into conventional categories. It’s like being water rather than ice or steam – fluid, adaptable, able to take any shape while maintaining essential nature. Society wants you to solidify into something definite, but I’ve found power in remaining fluid.

How optimistic are you about your own future?

Optimism implies some linear path toward improvement, doesn’t it? When you’ve seen patterns unfold and can watch students transform through simple shifts in perception, you begin to understand that the future isn’t something approaching us – it’s something we’re actively creating through consciousness itself. I sense something profound crystallizing in the way certain teachings emerge not just from planning but from presence. 

What has been the biggest uphill battle for you during this time in your life?

To answer this plainly, I would say the most difficult of challenges for myself to overcome are innately within the confrontation between my emotional and physical states. I battle with depression and atypical thinking patterns, sometimes questioning if I have some type of neuro divergence. I often find myself feeling incredibly overwhelmed and dispositioned by the sheer nature of it all. 

In another light I might also add that finding balance between perception and expression is delicate misery. It’s like discovering a new color and trying to describe it to others without a shared reference point. Sometimes in class, I’ll see understanding bloom in a student’s eyes – real understanding, the kind that changes how reality looks – and I have to resist the urge to throw open all the doors at once. There’s an art to timing in discovery. Push too fast and you create resistance; move too slowly and you lose the momentum of revelation.

What makes you happy and fulfilled currently?

I feel tempted to admit that only within cathartic states do I find the most relief.
Those moments when reality becomes transparent to itself are the only moments in which I feel the weight lift just enough to force a laugh or crack a smile. 

However I am also finding a special type of happiness that exists in some liminal spaces of Educational Practice- when teaching transcends instruction and becomes pure transmission of understanding. When writing flows from some deeper source than thought. When students email months later saying something finally clicked, and you can feel the ripple effect of consciousness evolution spreading outward. But it’s more than that – it’s in watching patterns emerge and evolve, in recognizing how consciousness shapes itself through seemingly random events. Even in solitude, there’s a profound fulfillment in being aware of awareness itself.

What advice/warnings would you give the younger generations that are approaching this stage of life you’re currently experiencing now?

Question everything, including the voice telling you to question everything. The path that looks like a mistake might be the universe course-correcting your consciousness. Don’t trust anyone who’s certain they know what you should do with your life – even destiny has a sense of humor. Learn to read the patterns in chaos, to find meaning in what others dismiss as coincidence. Your sensitivity isn’t a weakness – it’s a different kind of strength, like how certain instruments can detect earthquakes from across the world. The ones who tell you to “be realistic” often haven’t realized that reality itself is far more flexible than they imagine. And remember – the most profound truths often come disguised as ordinary moments. Pay attention.
