ABOUT ME

Currently at university in Ireland studying sociology.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869- 1948)

We seem to live in a world that is perpetually propelled by 'things'; materialistic adventures that 'supposedly' make us successful, admirable, and well-off both physically and mentally. Feeding this ego with a white-collar job, a new house, car, and endless applications to suit, only takes us further away from truly appreciating anything, let alone these needless 'necessities' that drive our minds and market economy. It is this mentality that drives me to go outside my sphere of comfort, into a world of strangers, bohemians, and unfathomable outcomes to truly appreciate what I have. Nothing can open a mind more than pure kindness and trust. Living life without an ulterior motive or ego-drive puts years on the soul and will help one find true, lasting happiness.

“The Road is my University; my place of humble learning, where the tests are real, fair, and the rewards--Priceless.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
