Jason Vo Email & Phone Number

Who are you? You may ask,The first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied before they had me, what school I went to and what I studied and all that kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it and honestly, you don't want to hear it. "No place is boring when you have an imagination" Life never brings a dull moment yet some people lock away the power of their imagination and take in the world as a boring place. Living life to no end, finding the cycle, perpetual. The power of imagination is mightier than you think, 2 individuals can see the same empty room in 2 drastically different ways, to one it is of a prison while to another it is canvas.To restrict myself to any stretch in the empty room dawns the eternity of imprisonment onto me, I'm not a prisoner, I'm an artist. "There is no escape from fate, a cruel reality life brings upon us regardless of fault" In 1853, The US sent 4 ships to the coast of Tokyo and demanded that Japan out of Sakoku.90 years later and Japan was in WWII, what a twisted fate right? A country that was supposed to stay isolated is now in a world war.To say that the world has a way with fate is no lie, no one saw it coming and when it happened, nothing could have been done. A butterfly effect where millions more died.Constantly thinking of this when I am about to do something that could impact another person or even myself. To ask myself how this would change things for everyone. It is important to me to keep the people I share this world with safe from my actions. Now tell me a bit about yourself. Would you rather lose your ability to speak or the ability to hear?The ability to speak is one of many uses. To communicate with others and transverse this world we would need the ability to speak. However, there is more than one way to communicate, the ability to speak is only one of many, images, text and even art is a form of communication and should not be taken for granted.The ability to hear on the other hand is more complex, danger lurks around everywhere and the sounds allow us to have a sense of our surroundings. Though we can go through life without hearing, it is much harder.I only ask this as there are many people out there without these abilities yet they manage to thrive in a world that wasn't built for them. We should take into account how other people live their lives in our world and when we do, our understanding of the world changes. Perspective is one of many gifts from those who have lost so much.
