About Boonie Sripom

Coaching for gifted children Boonie Sripom

I was a wholesome meme for Halloween 2021 lol

  • I define myself firstly as an artist.

  • I have an affinity for the natural innocence and curiosity of children, and those who have survived to maintain their creative identities as adults.

  • Living for authenticity, albeit difficult, is of utmost importance, and I acknowledge hiccups and detours.

  • I believe video games and online culture are legitimate forms of being, and can be understood with compassion and patience.

  • Creatives and those who think differently: we are misunderstood, mystified outliers, and it can be a lonely place.

  • Living for joy, beauty, and knowledge, is about the journey, not some predefined definition of success that everyone must follow.

We can't truly measure happiness, personal fulfillment, or integrity. One's internal peace, the pleasure of creating beauty, or discovering knowledge, can't be measured or compared to others. 

The struggle to find acceptance with oneself isn't always easy, yet for some it's natural. For me it was a long journey, and it feels nice to be where I am. Nurturing one's creativity or playfulness is a lifelong process, and I look forward to expanding on my definitions of authenticity with others.

Thank you for dropping by~ I hope you have a wonderful day filled with creative exploration and joy. <3 Boonie

  • I read parts of many books at once. Right now I probably have 3 comics and 5 novels I'm working on. Many times I don't finish them!
