I’m Aerin; an art school dropout with a good, working brain and a complete lack of direction. I am an artist and a writer and a thinker and a creator trapped in the confines of “the real world,” trying to find my authentic self amongst the debris of this deconstructed recovering alcoholic.

I have 2 dogs, am living on a peninsula in Mexico, I collect old records and love weird dark things. I am also a drop-of-hat crier when it comes to movies, a potato chip hound and an adult child. This may make me a hipster, but I don't really care.

I'm also really good to have in an emergency.

I’m on a journey to find out more about myself, about my purpose here on this plane of existence. I’ve made a lot of mistakes trying to acquire the little knowledge I do have about our existential dilemma. I do know that I’ll never be able to drink like a normal person, that I have a rumbly jolly laugh that’s contagious, and what I want more than anything else on the planet – aside from unhindered love & happiness- is belonging. I’ll take the good stuff where I can get it, and I’ll let you know what I find on this trail of happy- and sometimes frustrating, indelible- destiny.

My life is sometimes boring, sometimes fraught with social anxiety, depression, dysfunction & chaos, and sometimes, inexplicably, joy, peace & fierce.
