ABOUT ME

"Who am I? That's something I'll have to ponder..."

I am ready to travel,
ready to learn,
ready to ignite
ready to burn.
I'm ready to live
ready to die,
ready to be grounded,
ready to fly.
I'm ready to listen
ready to see
ready to be nothing,
other than me.

PHILOSOPHY

there's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
