I’m 25, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve had an appetite for living life firsthand. I don’t have a wall of degrees or a 20-year corporate plan; what I have is a track record of choosing the "side quest" over the script. After two years in corporate finance, I walked away because I realized I’d rather carry the stress of my own ambitions than the weight of someone else’s expectations. I’ve spent my time meeting interesting people, learning obscure skills, and finding my way into circumstances that taught me more than any textbook could. I’m a student of curiosity, constantly trying to be a person who is actually interesting to myself. I started Negative 25 because I’m tired of seeing people settle for "unseen aspirations" and digital substitutes for real feelings. I want the consequences, the hungers, and the messy reality of being present. Whether you're 20 or 60, I’m here to be the peer who listens and the mentor who pushes you to stop watching the reel and start living the frame. Let's find your negative space and run with it. 🤝
