lore
I'm Siddharth. Most people call me Sid, or Sid Renders. I'm 25. Ever since I was a kid, the idea in my head was simple: do what you love and don't worry too much about where it takes you. I've been living like that since I was 17.
I love art, music, photography, traveling, and honestly whatever else life throws at me. I think all of it is beautiful.
My music taste is basically Coldplay, The 1975, Oasis, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Coldplay changed my life though, especially Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland.
Right now, in my mid-20s, I'm living the most colorful chapter of my life. Watching my dreams actually come true is amazing. I just wish it would slow down a little.
