About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live each day to its fullest. Whatever that means to you in the moment.

ABOUT ME

I never know what to say to these types of questions. Personal description.. How do I describe myself… Well, I am silly, light-hearted, easy-going and indecisive. I like appreciating beauty in small things in life, noticing colors and shapes and little moments that are special to me for maybe no reason at all. I like little adventures, especially by bicycle, although walking is good too. I LOVE people watching and drinking tea on good porches. I’m curious about the rest of the world. I’m a student.. of life.. studying psychology on the most amazing campus ever (at least I think so.. but then again I call this place home, so I’m probably biased). I love California, the way the ocean sounds and smells, sand between my toes. I do lots of art, drawing and painting and photography and collage… I love my friends and family, connecting with them is probably the most important thing in the world to me.. I like meeting new people, especially when its comfortable and open.

PHILOSOPHY

Be present. Live in the moment. Life is full of lessons, it's up to us to see the meaning in it all.
