CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life, learn and hope to leave things behind better than when you find them

ABOUT ME

mmm... difficult to tell. very openminded, curious, open, interested in life and people etc etc.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to take life as it comes...
but 'going with the flow' is not always as easy as it should be.

doing a lot of personal growth and healing these days.
wondering how to escape the system (the capitalistic 40 hr work week that only seems to benefit the psychopaths at the top) but still have enough time and money to travel and do the things i like.

an anarchist in mind, a hippie in heart, and highly sensitive cells all around
