"I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life."

-Leo Tolstoy, 'Family Happiness'

I started running away from home pretty often in my early teens, and when I was sixteen I dropped out of high school and left my hometown for eight months. Since then I've taken several long solo trips, hitching around wherever I feel like going.

I have recently found meaning for myself in Tibetan Buddhism and Taoism, and I have dedicated myself to making people happy, regardless of my initial judgement toward them.
