About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting a life:)

ABOUT ME

I'm Chris. 22 years old, likes to have those conversations that are edgy, out of the box.. My principals can be described as left, liberal and progressive but I like it when people dare me with their views. I love people, young and old, but there are also those which I like a bit less; those with the too big stories and take themselves too seriously. My friends describe me as being sarcastic, cynical, sweet, strong and open.

PHILOSOPHY

Look the world right into the eyes.

Embrace transience; everything has its time enjoy the good things while they make part of your life, if its time, let them go.
