We're just a little over a week few days out from the Fall '23 semester Opening Day! Let's introduce ourselves. My brief bio is...
There has been many occasions that had seen me visiting the forests or some other natural area to relax. The less people and distractions, the better (Well, with few exceptions).

The absence of "white noise", the constant stimulations we encounter online and in our daily routine, clears my mind and allows for a present feeling separated from notions/extrapolations of past or future for myself.
