What are you unable to live without?
I want to talk about volcanoes. I can live without them, but I grew up around a live volcano and I feel that without this idea of life expanding and recreating, without experiencing the cycle of destruction and creation, I would be a different person.
If you could give advice to your 15-year-old self, what would it be?
Everything is ephemeral. I think when I was younger everything seemed stagnant or unending. As I have gotten older I have come to realize that nothing, neither good nor bad, is infinite. Then again how we perceive time is partly based on how long we have been alive so to my 15-year-old self, who is half my age at the time of this interview, I might seem like another condescending adult dismissing or belittling her life experiences. Instead of advice, I would much rather give words of encouragement. Actually, screw that too… I would tell her to buy bitcoin when it was .05 cents a pop
