Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
The ultimate mission is to be happy by having cool new experiences
ABOUT ME
Most of the time I am very energetic (but also figetty and nervous) though everyone has their off days. I am very honest (maybe too honest, though I try to gauge when people can appreciate this) and have a sarcastic/cynical type of humor. Deep down though, I can be very nice, serious and mature when the situation calls for it.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is like a huge box of legos. Within the bounds of a few simple rules (judicial and physical laws) you can pretty much make anything out of it. No one will or should tell you what to build, how to build it or in what order to build it. Some people are willing to invest a lot of hard work into making something great, others just decide they don't want to play. Sometimes a construction gets partially destroyed. When this happens, some are better at picking up the pieces than others. In the end, I hope people will have used most of the blocks at their disposal to make something they can be proud of.
