About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living Every Day

ABOUT ME

I love sports, travelling, and a good story. I enjoy being around my friends and meeting new people. I'm halfway done an undergraduate degree in English

PHILOSOPHY

Anberlin - "There's more to living then being alive."

Andrew McMahon -'The sun rose for all of us today but for me it meant more than most sunrises of my near 24 years. It meant that this year had past and a new one had begun. It meant that the wires were undone and the scars were just scars and yes; that it's time to move on. In this year I have seen dark places and I have seen some places flooded with light that I never knew existed. I have walked to the door of death and never felt more alive and I have learned that something that is inherent whether we choose to live knowing it or not. That we are just pieces of this crazy universe, floating through space like every other piece of this crazy universe. You don't have to push or pull or fight to win, the struggle is illusory. Sometimes or rather, all times, you just have to be. I am doing my best to be and today it occurs to me that in being I have been very lucky'
