About Me — Orianne Gambino

In one sentence, I am a curious mind on an endless quest to experience joy — and spread it!

My number one question: Why?

I was that kid in the back of the car that would not shut up. I’d ask whys after whys about anything. Some days, it feels like the little girl who always needs an answer never left.

I am learning to let that go. Not everything needs an explanation. It’s killing me to write it, but it’s true.

This childhood anecdote tells you two more things about me. Most days, I can talk tirelessly — not to say endlessly. And, I am aiming on creating a better version of myself.

I believe life is a game and we should play by embracing every part of it. Getting better every time we get a chance. Writing is how I make sense of the game, and answer yet another question: how do we treat life as a playground?

Epicurian obsessed with joy

What brings you joy? is my second favorite question. By now, you’ve got it, I like questions.

I always aim for joy and I am trying to nurture that. A way I do this is by teaching my brain to appreciate the smallest things.
