About Me

i'm an aquarius almost to a 't' i love being around people and can pretty much have a conversation with anyone about anything. i enjoy hearing different and new opinions and ideas. i love learning - the more novel the topic the better. i am definitely an optimist - i always see the good in everyone and until i see it, it's hard for me to accept the bad in people. i try to look at every situation as a way to learn more about myself and grow as a person even if that situation isn't 100% pleasant.i tend to be very emotional and sensitive to people and situations around me. i pride myself on being empathetic and compassionate, although lately i've been so caught up with work that it's hard to step out of that sphere of thinking when i'm at home or with friends.i can be very stubborn when i feel someone (or something) is unfair or not right. i will stand up for what i believe in, even if that means losing a friend (or even a family member).i am very affectionate and open (sometimes i probably share too much!), but i feel that because of this i tend to forge deep, strong and long-lasting relationships with the people that i really connect with.
i spend most of my time at work - this is not a complaint, just a statement of fact.
my two favorite times of day are when i wake up in the morning and around 12:30am - both are when i realize what an amazing man i get to share my days with & how much i love him.
