About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Awakening

ABOUT ME

I am interested in people, they fascinate me. Everyone has something to offer. Me: I studied literature, religion, and writing. I haven't really used my degrees yet, I've been working in the restaurant business and trying to write. I'm currently in Fresno after just having returned from 4 months traveling in the Middle East .

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to people. Why would you be mean to people? Well, that's what I always say.

Everyone seems to be serious except me.

Searching for something, not sure what it is yet.
