Hi there! I'm Eian, an 18-year-old student studying in New York.

I created this blog as a small creative outlet during the long, quiet days of the COVID pandemic. What started as a curious experiment has since become a space where I can explore ideas, challenge perspectives, and reflect on both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life.

When I'm not writing here, you can find me watching movies, petting my dogs, playing soccer, reading, or sleeping.

Hypothetically Speaking is my creative playground, and I'm thrilled to share it with anyone willing to join me on the ride. Welcome to my corner of the internet!
