Salutations and welcome to my humble blog!

My name is Arataki, and this is my corner of the interweb to hang. Here you will find a mixture of philosophy, creative writing, and fun lists of all my favorite things! (I may not look it, but I’m a ruthless optimiser)

This website is a WIP and will be regularly updated as I build upon its content. Thank you for visiting!
