About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm considering both Tree Hugger and Bleeding Heart as potential career options. Taking some time to figure out which.

ABOUT ME

I'm still figuring out the best way to spend my time here on Earth, by trying to be a good, happy and fulfilled person. That may not sound like much, but believe me, it takes up a lot of my time! :)

I've studied and worked in development for a little while, but at the moment changing my life direction. We'll see how that pans out.

I love the obvious things: music, art, food and nature. As long as I have these things, and of course my close friends and family - I'm pretty happy.

My greatest hope is to leave this planet of ours just a little better than I found it. If you have any suggestions on how to do that - be sure to let me know :)

PHILOSOPHY

'Another world is not only possible, she is on her way...on a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.' (Arundhati Roy)

'We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.' (Oscar Wilde)
