Description
about / background
IT WAS A HARD PILL FOR TEN TO SWALLOW AND ADMIT (ONLY TO HIMSELF) THAT HIS PARENTS WERE RIGHT AND HE COULDN'T MAKE A LIVING IN JUST ART. A YEAR INTO HIS ART MAJOR IN HIS UNDERGRADUATE YEARS, HE MADE A SLIGHT PIVOT TO STUDY ARCHITECTURE. IT STILL SOMEWHAT PLEASED HIM TO BE ABLE TO DESIGN, AND WHILE IT WASN'T HIS TRUE CALLING AT THE TIME, IT WOULD PROBABLY SET HIM UP FOR A SOMEWHAT MORE SOLID CAREER.
OVERTIME, TEN FELL IN LOVE WITH ARCHITECTURE AND THE COUNTRY. HE SETTLED, FOUND A DECENT POSITION AS A JUNIOR DESIGNER AT A SMALL FIRM, AND THE NEXT FEW YEARS PASSED QUIETLY. TEETERING BETWEEN STARVING ARTIST AND BARELY COMFORTABLE, TEN MANAGED TO GET BY WITH JUST HIMSELF AND HIS TWO CATS: LOUIS AND LEON.
AS TIME PASSED, HOWEVER, TEN FOUND HIMSELF SPENDING HIS FREE TIME CREATING ART AGAIN, WHETHER IT WAS JUST SIMPLE SKETCHES ON A NOTEPAD OR PAINT-FILLED DAYS IN HIS SMALL STUDIO. THE IDEA OF PURSUING A MASTERS IN ARCHITECTURE SOMEHOW MADE ITS WAY INTO HIS MIND ONE IDLE DAY. IT WASN'T THE WORST IDEA EVER — ALTHOUGH TEN WOULD BE WORKING WHILE HE COMPLETED THE PROGRAM, HE'D HAVE ANOTHER CREDENTIAL ADDED TO HIS RESUME AND HE'D BE ABLE TO STUDY MORE OF THE ARTISTIC SIDE OF ARCHITECURE HE LIKED, FROM HISTORY TO SOCIETY, SCULPTING, AND DESIGN. CONVINCING HIMSELF THAT THIS WAS THE PLUNGE HE NEEDED TO TAKE TO FIND HIMSELF, WHICH WAS REALLY WHAT HE SET OUT ALL THOSE YEARS AGO TO DO, TEN ENROLLED IN NWU'S GRAD PROGRAM, FILLED WITH A RENEWED SENSE OF PURPOSE (FOR NOW HAHA).
TEN IS A MAN WHO'S TOO SOFT AND KIND FOR HIS OWN GOOD. UNFAILINGLY OPTIMISTIC WITH A MILD TEMPER, IT TAKES A LOT TO GET A NEGATIVE REACTION OUT OF TEN. HE'S NEVER LIKED BEING UPSET, AND ANYTHING TROUBLING HIM HE WOULD PREFER TO KEEP TO HIMSELF. ONE COULD DESCRIBE TEN AS A PEOPLE PLEASER, BUT HE much WOULD PREFER TO CALL HIMSELF KIND AND FRIENDLY.
