(Bio from Micaiah Johnson website)

If I figured anything out in these last six years, it is this: human beings are unknowable.

You can never know a single person fully, not even yourself. Even if you think you know yourself in your safe glass castle, you don’t know yourself in the dirt. Even if you hustle and make it in the rough, you have no idea if you would thrive or die in the light of real riches, if your cleverness would outlive your desperation.
