Hello! I'm a senior at William and Mary, studying Literature and East Asian Studies. I lived all over the world in my childhood, so while I say I'm from Northern Virginia, I'm really from everywhere and nowhere all at once.
I'm not sure what else to say, so I'm going to close with my favorite Japanese Jisei (death poem), by Saigyo Hoshi.

"Let me die in spring,
under the blossoming trees,
let it be around that full moon of
Kisaragi month."
