How to be Human is exactly what it sounds like. A how-to guide for people looking to thrive within their flesh vessel.


No longer will people be able to say they didn't get the handbook on humane behavior.


It's a work in process, but the people asked and I'm here to deliver. This website, posted to the Group Conscience (aka the Internet/Cloud), was manifested by you, reader.


Don't give up faith in humanity. Not just yet.



I think we can all agree there's a lot of NPC's (Non-playing characters) in the world. Perhaps you feel like one. Perhaps you are one. The truth is we are all main characters.

As the main character of my story, I've been on a journey seeking answers to this impossible question "how do I human?".


Despite a troubling childhood and chronic health issues, I am determined to change the world. To make it kinder, fairer, more peaceful, and above all else, sustainable for humans.


The frustration of seeing people, all people, not living up to their fullest potential has always been my biggest heartbreak. It's ended many relationships. Not always on my terms.


When my life stopped happening on my terms, I lost my power. I became a non-playing character. I switched to a survival and fear-based mindset. With a fear-based mindset, many marginalized communities and trauma victims can agree that there's less room for hope. There's less room for empowerment.


When society makes you fearful, there's less emotional capacity for living, and even less for thriving. When society violates our inherent human boundaries, we get rightfully angry.


I'm not asking anyone not to be angry. I'm constantly filled with rage (thanks, Aries Moon)!


There is only one criteria for this movement.

Everyone must be willing to approach each other from a place of good faith.



If this as far as we go together, reader, please take my one piece of advice.

Stay Curious.
