My ultimate friend Shivank

And now, a section on my ultimate friend.

TK TK


One of my favorite things that I've learned from Shiv is the power of belief. They've shown me what belief can create, how you really can create something from nothing, based on faith.

Shivank brought out the best in me by seeing it before it was there. Here are some Shiv quotes on belief that I've saved and cherished over the years, in reverse chronological order:

“All we know is that we’re gonna die. Anything else is taken on faith, taken on hope. So why not go big?” May 2023

“I think this, like all of your plans, is doomed to success.” April 2022

“Sometimes by making something more than it is, it'll become more.” November 2021

“I know in you.” October 2017

Comics

I make comics!

In high school I was the president of the comic writing and production club (a.k.a. CWAP lol), and have kept it up as a hobby since then.

You can check out my comics on Instagram or TikTok.

Here's one from September 2024:

Hourly Comics

In recent years I've participated in Hourly Comics Day, where cartoonists draw a panel for each hour of the day, usually on February 1st.

Here's 2023:

Running

I started running in August of 2023 when my mental was at an all-time low... LOL.

I ended up really loving it: showing yourself you can do difficult things, running with friends, the energy and endorphins it gives you, the time and space to think.

I ran my first marathon in June of 2024 in San Diego and will be running the Berlin and NYC marathons in 2025.

I also use Strava as a blog.

Here's a comic I made early on in my running adventure:

Being Extra
I love being extra. In the words of Mr.Ping from Kung Fu Panda, "To make something special you just have to believe it's special."

It is in our power to make things special!

Halloween
I love bringing a concept to life in costume form, but I don't find myself usually wanting to do that more than once or twice per year.

Which is to say... I love Halloween.
Here are some costumes from over the years:

Pro-Union Strega Nona (2024):

Pondering My Orbs (2023):
