About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to continuously see and feel and help others do the same

ABOUT ME

happy. smiling. random. absurdity. seeing others smiling. strange faces. walking. running. climbing. observing. smelling. tasting. feeling. touching. the thing that really makes me truly happy is making a positive difference in the life of another, contributing to a smile is great.

"the greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that outlasts it."

i love hiking. i love meeting new people. i like philosophy. i love learning new things. i enjoy "awkward" silences. i love experiencing new things. i love seeing new things. my mind contradicts itself a lot because i tend to look at things from different points of view. i love exploring. i love random acts of kindness. i love learning new things. i like to open the minds of others to new thoughts and ideas. i like logic. i love to think about how one experience is just that. no one will ever experience the exact same things as anyone else, and everyone has a different story. a different memory of a shared event. a different perspective. a different background. i love people. i love being alive and living.

i don't like all the houses that are going up in my area and all the trees that are coming down.

yes, i like to live and experience life and take the ups with the downs, the lefts with the rights, and go all around. you just gotta flow with it and see what happens. everything happens exactly like it should. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I never want to be limited by soceities standards of success.

"if you aren't working on recovery, you are working on a relapse"
"the greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that outlasts it"
"all life is an experiment"
"everything happens for a reason"

basically making a difference in the lives of others for the positive and helping people to become aware. aware of habits. aware of the fact that everything and everyone is beautiful in a different way and that no two objects or experiences are exactly the same, EVER. Nothing is the same as anything else. ever. period.
i like to live. i like to experience. we are here now, and who knows what is next, but i know it will be great whatever it is. I want to get everything i can now though becasue i just don't know what is next. I don't want to look back and say i should have done that or i wish i had. i never want to be at the point where i cant do something and wish i had when i could. i don't agree with the standards of society but there isn't much that can be done, although my mind contradicts that completely, my actions do not. i work, i go to school, so i can get a job, or "career" rather. ideally, i would like to travel the wolrd with bare minimum expenses paid and not make any extra money, just enough for food and fun, and help people. open people's eyes to the fatc that being different is GREAT, and everyone and everyhting is beautiful. i dont want a "regular" life, and it well, it scares the shit out of me that i will. as long as I am aware though, I have the power to change....ahhh, my mind is going all around now...okay...
