Greetings to all of those reading this around the world, my name is Henry,im from South Carolina.

Things I like include but are not limited to:

Poetry
Memes
Books (I am a bibliophile, in other words a sucker for a good book).

Older Artisan Films
Chinese art (in particular porcelain, I love a beautiful Tang or Song celadon)

Iranian art (I own a few Iranian and Afghan miniatures, it is a lovely style of painting)


so if you are into any of these things, we will probably get along just fine 😊

Oh and before you ask, INTJ-A

Farsi Speakers feel free to drop a line i adore Iranians, Chinese speakers too, even though my chinese is cringy and sounds guilao"ish".

Alternatively if you are just interesting, ill speak with you, to kill boredom

Yes, I would be happy to help with your English, and sure I'm open to learning more about your language and culture.

i would like to practice Farsi, French and Mandarin to name a few.

Iran
China
Poetry (Dickinson and Poe, also Father Ryan, Henry Timrod, and James Ryder Randall. i write myself and of course i enjoy classical works from ancient iranian and Chinese poets, such as Li bai, Du Fu, Khayyam, Rumi and Sa'adi to name a few).
Books
Militaria
Memes
