some people call me Missy, other people call me Sparki

I call myself a:
student of medicine and social movements trying to create a better world
humanist trying to live responsibly
dust speck seeking significance
some of the mud that got to sit up and look around

it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then. . .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
