	All the beforementioned things considered, disability mobility, accessibility and such are huge part of my life. Before XPUB, my previous graduation work; ''Happytalism''<ref>https://graduation.kabk.nl/2023/lorenzo-quint</ref> was a critique on wellness / new age / spirituality which revealed to be harmful during the COVID pandemic. In my thesis ''A Guide To Nether-Hell : A Journey Through Depiction & Experience From A Nether-Divergent Perspective,'' I describe the damage of enforcing normalcy in relation accessibility and disable, but also the idea of an alternative in sense of subculture and community. <ref>https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/1702786/1702785</ref>		All the beforementioned things considered, disability mobility, accessibility and such are huge part of my life.

	I am born and raised in Rotterdam. I have lived in the North/Centre of Rotterdam for my entire life. Which is convenient because of the multiple ways to get around to places.

Advanced bone age is present in approximately 75 to 85% of patients. https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/sotos-syndrome/</ref>. The latter had an effect on my balance organ and because of that I can't practice my Dutchness of riding a bicycle. Which is also answer to the frequently asked question: "Huh? You can't ride a bicycle?" which is then followed up by "I thought everyone in the Netherlands could ride a bicycle!". These diagnoses put me in a position in early life that is called 'special'.
