About
My name is Drake and I was born in Louisiana USA in 2002. My mother left my father around 2003/4 after he witnessed her being sexually assaulted in the mormon church, leading him to leave the church and her him. She moved us to Australia after getting remmarried, growing up I carried the pain of these earlier times in silence. It boiled through my years in school and boiled-over late 2023 at its climax when I was quite suicidal. Since then, everyday I am geared toward creating nothing less than the most authentic beauty that I can imagine, regardless of whoever I may hurt/offend in the process. The key is to return inner-confidence beyond what is culturally understood.
I am an advocate for psychedelics, decentralisation, open source philosophy, blockchain etc. In my quieter moments I am an advocate for the abolishment of government, however I understand culturally we probably aren't quite there yet. All of my life I have detested the idea of authority deeply as in a sense I have been guided to accept the harm that has been inflicted as normal due to my inferior form as a young child/baby. My existence is an act of rebellion, I know nothing else.
Thus, I am a threat to many, and subsequently an easily justified target. Nevertheless, I maintain my positions and belief however radical it may seem to others. I understand the impact that psychedelics have had in the shifting of my mind, and have connected the dots so much so that I see the patterns most don't on a daily basis. Apparently, that makes me 'crazy'. I also understand that that is a label that people place on you out of fear and lack of understanding. I see the absurdity in it all and am happy to accept exile. As I know that freedom will not be granted in this culture in its current form, and I will have freedom, dead or alive. So, into the forest I go, alone, unwavering, without hesitation.
