About Me

CURRENT MISSION

slide into domestication with the view to start a family

ABOUT ME

Had a great life and count my blessings - would love the world to be a fairer place and appreciate how lucky I am to have lived the life bestowed to me. High minded but love to have fun and enjoy socialising, seeing my friends, being outside and simple honest things in life, I am sincere, down to earth but ambitious in an ethical sense.

PHILOSOPHY

Good morning world thankyou for the day that is about to unfold. I promise before God or even the absence of God that I will try to maintain a calm mind and strong heart in all that I experience today. I pledge that I will give the world my best and live my life in accordance to the ideals that have been shown by both prophets and paupers to be the most simple way of enriching my soul. Never should I forget the common humanity that unites all people, I know my own well being depends directly on the well being of others, so the let the love in my heart guide me to making this real. My mind and body are a gift and my apprecation for it will be shown through balance and integrity. Keep me on the middle path that way I will never lose sense of all that the world has to offer. Know that I will defend my aspiration to achieve all my potential but if I ever have to hurt someone that is a sure sign that I have lost my way. So keep me in tune with my nature and I promise that I will be a conduit for positivity. Placida Mente Fortique Animo.
