ABOUT ME

***loving the people and things closest to me while embracing the cosmic entirety of life's many layers. i want to make the world a better place by minimizing my impact on this planet. i live to reject materialism, buy locally, study other cultures to learn about their way of life, not support destructive/manipulative/harmful corporations, be a vegan, conserve nature, and pass on my philosophies. i find peace in a clear mind. i love certain aspects about religions but would never follow one for guidance. i believe in existentialism, the belief where we, humans, create the meaning and essence in our lives. so much is present in the human spirit and if we follow our own path in life we can become our own gods. i believe the government should keep its nose out of the people's business if we are not hurting anything/anyone else. the healing power of music has got to be the best medicine for a depressed soul.***

PHILOSOPHY

To get a better understanding of the world by traveling to other countries, meeting new people, and listening to what they have to say. You only live once so you might as well make the most of it and make a difference!
