I was born near an arctic tundra…
(O Canadaaaa)
…and raised on an active volcano.

When I was 7, lava gobbled up my house in Kalapana Gardens.
(Not pictured: My actual house)
So me and my dad lived in a homeless shelter for a little while …
But it wasn’t all that bad.
I grew up surfing…
Playing in nature…
And I was lucky enough to learn some really important lessons early on:
Lesson:
Infant whales can breach out of the water immediately so like, what are WE doing with our lives?
Be in f*cking awe of being alive
& find what makes you literally jump for joy.
Lesson:
Lava is merciless, tides come and go, and you gotta work hard to catch that perfect wave… which only lasts a few seconds.
Enjoy the ride. Don’t cling to the past.
Patience and perseverance pays.
Lesson:
No thing lasts forever.
Including time.
So do the thing you love.
While you still have the chance.
Above all, I learned: The MOST important THING is to live a life you LOVE.
