About Me

I'm a person who has learned to love humanity and enjoy the simple things, while at the same time, striving to achieve worthwhile dreams. To be inspired and to inspire is one of many forms of love, but it is one of my favorites. My mind is of the abstract, my heart, sensitive, and my flesh is a challenge to say the least. I can say, give of yourself and I will give back, but that would be telling too much. I seek to stretch out my soul, further then I think I can, and hope to touch lives; many have touched mine, and I'm grateful. **PLEASE NOTE** Because I have a lot to do to achieve my dreams I will limit how much time I spend commenting on profiles and blogs. It's a lot easier and less time-consuming to read then to write back any comments. You may see me on here but I have responsibilities with my groups and with learning. So please excuse me in this. I have to manage my time as best I can with all the different stuff I want to do and learn. fantasy layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com

I'd like to meet:

People who have a zest for life and want to fulfill their dreams; as well as those who already have. People with staying power and creativity. People who express through their imaginations, minds, and hearts. Most of all, my soul mates--friends and lover.
