About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To let my soul stand cool and composed before a million universes....

ABOUT ME

At the moment I am living in Xela, Guatemala. I am teaching English at a secondary school and volunteering at a shelter for women and children.

PHILOSOPHY

"The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth."

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."

'You've got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from mistakes, but never regret.'

"There's nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your former self."

'Just because it's not what you were expecting, doesn't mean it's not everything you've been waiting for...'

"Often in life we forget the things we should remember and remember the things we should forget"

'Es difÌcil decir que es imposible, porque el sueño de ayer es la esperanza de hoy y la realidad de mañana'

"I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry."

'Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.'
