RentMen:
If we sat on the beach and drank wine and ate great food just you and I, what would you tell me about yourself and your life?
Slykryk:
I'd probably start ten different stories and forget the endings of most of them. I'd get sidetracked by the sunset and how beautiful the water looks. Eventually I'd tell you that I'm terrified of not living fully, of missing out on connections because I was too scared. Then I'd probably suggest we go for a spontaneous midnight swim or stargaze and talk about our dreams. And I'd mean every word of it.
RentMen:
What are 5 things you can’t live without?
Slykryk:
1. Meaningful conversations that last for hours
2. Music that gives me goosebumps
3. My chaotic group of friends who ground me
4. New experiences. I'm terrified of stagnation
5. Hope. Sounds cheesy, but I need to believe things can get better and more beautiful
RentMen:
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like others to absolutely know about you?
Slykryk:
I'm still figuring myself out, just like everyone else. But I care deeply about making genuine connections in this weird world. If we hang out, I want to know the real you. The messy, complicated, beautiful person underneath.
RentMen:
How do you go the 'Extra Mile' in your life?
Slykryk:
I try to really see people. Remember the details. Follow up on the things they mentioned. I'm not always great at the practical stuff, but I want you to feel like you matter. Because you do. I'll probably send you a random article two weeks later that reminded me of our conversation.
