Dimples on the Edge

Master of None

Searching and learning all that I can along the way

  • To Be Perceived

    I wish I could hold onto every conception of myself. No one else ought to have the lingering thought of me. No one else should be able to conceive of me beyond the realm that I have allowed. To know that others can think of me outside of the bounds of our in-person interactions makes… Read more
