My avatar is Sal Paradise from On the Road, who---in real life---is the writer, Jack Kerouac. I came across On the Road during a crucial time in my life and found that its central theme of navigating oneself out of adolescence coincided directly to my own reality. I found comfort through the journey of Sal Paradise and saw myself growing as an individual alongside him, finding inspiration from the spontaneous independence of which he lived his life by.
