ABOUT LU

She is sarcastic.
She is a journalist.
She lives to write and writes to survive.
She has dark brown, long hair and wide brown eyes.
She smokes (but won't in front of you if you don't).

She loves discussions, debates and philosophical arguments.
She can be extremely silly and crazy at times.

She just realized she doesn't like to talk about her in the third person. So I'll stop.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life and enjoy it. Learn. Tolerate. Be patient. Be friendly. Never judge. Respect. Always do good. Speak truthfully, always. Smile at least once a day. Do something different each day no matter how small, no matter how silly. Be proud of who you are and everything you've done.
