Hey all, I wrote this when I was 18 (and now I'm 27) so of course much has changed, and much remains the same.

ABOUT ME

I'm free spirited and goofy, with a dark side on the rainy days.
I love sports, especially volleyball. I also play goalie for lacrosse and I'm top in the league :)
I don't do well with technology, but it still sucks my soul. One of my goals is to escape it someday. Live off the grid in grand open spaces, with a little cabin that I built myself. It will have a studio and a garden and books everywhere. I could be happy there.
I'm terrified of crabs.
I love heights.
All my favorite memories are in the water.
I want to pursue sculpting. Clay is one of the few things that makes sense to me.
Sunlight makes me happy. Also Husky puppies, the smell of sawdust, and bubble tea.
I'm not afraid of the dark, but I am afraid of all the little monsters my mind conjures into the shadows.

I'm no good at describing myself in a paragraph.. but I love travel and meeting new people. I have a passion for earth and culture, I'm hoping to find my soul somewhere off in the depths of the Amazon Jungle, wandering Alaskan capes, speaking Spanglish in Italy.. Chasing the horizon till my heart knows home.

Then maybe I'll come back and get my life together. Only time will tell.

PHILOSOPHY

Still working on this. I learn a little every day. But I guess I believe in living life fully alive, always aware and awake. I'm happiest with nature.

"In the depths of winter I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." -Albert Camus

"So therefore I dedicate myself to myself, to my art, my sleep, my dreams, my labors, my suffrances, my unique madness, my endless absorption and hunger--because I cannot dedicate myself to any fellow being." -Jack Kerouac

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." -Albert Camus
