i like it here.









storyteller, mentor, visual learner, beta lover, realistic optimist. boston is home. new york is on the radar. prefer to live in lowercase. a typical day: music. morning run along the river. yoga shapes on an orange mat. green tea. sometimes chai. hot shower. work for a vc firm. send voice notes. rarely listen to voice mail. there's a difference. stay up too late. wake up too early. most days i like it here. liking is a choice. connect dots. keep moving.

“when you’re famous and say you’re writing a book, people assume that it’s an autobiography — i was born here, raised there, suffered this, loved that, lost it all, got it back, the end. but that’s not what this is. i’ve never been a linear thinker, which is something you can see in my rhymes. they follow the jumpy logic of poetry and emotion, not the straight line of careful prose. my book is like that, too.” - jay-z | via pieratt brain pickings
