Phoenix Blackwell
"The slow blade penetrates the shield."
Hey!
My name is Phoenix, but I go by Caisen. Since I was younger I have found myself interested in the psychological processes that make us human--and in how some people can behave and think so differently from me as a result.
I have had many amazing experiences living in Japan attending university here, but perhaps nothing has been more gratifying and fascinating from a psychological perspective than the experience of adapting to a new culture and seeing yourself change under the influences surrounding you. In the future, I would like to expose myself to even more cultures and experiences that might challenge my worldviews and leave me susceptible to taking a new perspective!
