CURRENT MISSION

"I do it for the joy it brings, because I'm a joyful girl. 'Cause the world owes me nothing. We owe each other the world."

ABOUT ME

"I do it for the joy it brings,
Because I'm a Joyful Girl
Because the world owes me nothing
We owe each other the world
I do it 'cause it's the least I can do
I do it 'cause I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to
I want to, I want to

Everything I do is judged.
They mostly get it wrong, but oh well
The bathroom mirror has not budged,
The woman who lives there can tell
The truth from the stuff that they say
She looks me in the eye
And says 'Would you prefer the easy way?
No? Well okay, then don't cry.'

I wonder with everything I do, I do instead
Something I want to do more,
The question fills my head
I know there's no grand plan here,
This is just the way it goes
And when everything else seems unclear,
I guess at least I know

I do it for the joy it brings
Because I'm a Joyful Girl
Because the world owes me nothing
We owe each other the world
I do it 'cause it's the least I can do
I do it 'cause I learned it from you

I do it just because I want to
Oh, I want to
I just want to."

-Ani Difranco

PHILOSOPHY

"For me there is only the traveling on the paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge for me is to traverse its full length. And there I travel—looking, looking, ....breathlessly." -Don Juan Matus

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

"Yes. I've realized that there must be much more to life, and so much more other than life itself that I cannot grasp; but honestly, if someone gave me another choice, I'd still choose life. Just because it's so exciting. Because it's so sad."

"The windows of my soul
Are made of one-way glass
Don't bother looking into my eyes,
If there's something you wanna know-
Just ask." -Ani Difranco
