About Me

Greetings

CURRENT MISSION: I recently adopted two homeless kittens, so right now it's all about them :)

On another note, I describe myself as an ever-curious snowflake who's always up for an adventure if it involves any form of exploration of life, nature, society, culture, or you know, anything. Also am becoming a seasoned chef and do yoga from time to time. I'm not very "PC" and will discuss pretty much any subject. The more controversial, the merrier. The best way of learning is for me through conversation, and every person you talk to knows something you don't.

My approach to life is quite relaxed, and although I've got ambitions, I try not to worry nor hurry too much.
When I wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy (get it?) I try to tell myself that each and every new day is sort of like a new life, which means that however bad yesterday might've been, it's in the past.
Depression sucks, but the more times you beat that son of a bitch, the stronger you get! If we simply try to do just a little better each day, our lives are gonna be pretty awesome one day. And although it definitely won't always feel that way, that's OK. And remember: baby steps, baby! Also, undefeated limbo champion. Pursue meaning, not money and enjoy the ride!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 17, I spent a year in Panama, working at an orphanage because school sucked.
