PERSONAL NOTES
-
Samurai Champloo
The duality of the characters, the way they work together despite their differences, and a soundtrack that makes it all feel like one complete world.

Bridge to Terabithia
Magic doesn't always have to be found. Sometimes you create it. And sometimes the only way to see it is to believe in it.

PERSONAL NOTES
-
Atlanta
The writing. The realism. The relatability. The pacing. The hidden clues. A show that rewards you for paying attention, even when it feels like nothing unusual is happening.

PERSONAL NOTES

Tales and Trails β Beacon Lights of Literature Series
A collection of short stories that work together, each building on the others. Different stories, but something bigger begins to take shape when you put them together.

05 / MUSIC
PERSONAL NOTES
-
Watching Movies with the Sound Off β Mac Miller
Raw rapping ability alongside emotions that hit with the weight of an anvil. Neither feels out of place. Somehow, they both belong on the same album.

06 / OBJECTS
PERSONAL NOTES
-
Green vintage 1990s Space Walk Man Robot
The colors. The coolness. It reminds me of the ancient robot in One Pieceβleft behind by another era, but still there when you need it most.
-
Grass fields used as tracks
An open space where running stops being about metrics and starts being about feeling. No numbers to chase. Just the movement itself.

PERSONAL NOTES
-
Itachi Uchiha
An outcast because of what he loved and believed in. Itachi reminds me that sometimes the choices people make out of love are the very things that leave them misunderstood.
-
Kahlil Gibran
We share a name, and somehow I arrived at similar philosophies before reading his work. As a kid, I didn't appreciate being good at writing. The older I get, the more I realize it's a superpower.
-
Virgil Abloh
The simplicity of blending everyday design with high fashion. It reminds me of The Bear: stripping away everything unnecessary until one bite can feel like an entire meal.

PERSONAL NOTES
-
Treehouse in Tyler's backyard
A small place that once felt big. Left behind, but never forgotten. Treehouses may be relics of the past, but this one will always have a place in my future.

Hyde Park Gym β Austin, Texas
I love training. From the outside, you'd never guess how beautifully designed this place is. Some people are intimidated by the door, not knowing everything they need is waiting on the other side.
