CURRENT MISSION

To just be

ABOUT ME

It is so hard to some someone up in this little box. I am someone who loves to travel and to experience life to its fullest whether its getting soaked in a thunderstorm or climbing some mountain peak in a distant land. I am an optimist almost to a fault at times. I am very laid back and easy going.

My dream is to someday live in another country. This year, I quit my job because cubicles suck, took several months to see the world, gain a new insight on life, and now I'm trying to figure out what's next.

PHILOSOPHY

Here is a quote that sums up my philosophy well
"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back."
