I'd like to meet:

i want to meet me as a kid. i want to compare notes and see if we got things aligned. i want her to remind me to find the innocence in everything again.

there are no coincidences in life. so bring it... extra points if you are a ninja monkey

and my family who i rarely see!!!!

yearning to connect with kindred spirits who can help me in reaching my higher self.. inspiration without saying a word... or someone who can teach me how to change the oil in my car so i can do it my damn self... ohhhhhh, and dubya bush and ahhhhhnald schwarzenegger- i got something to say to them :(

and listen, if you are going to step up, then come correct or don't step up at all. show me your true side because i am beginning to understand what bullshit looks like before the words "hello hi" comes out of your lips.

and cool ass people who go to these events and want to say "wassup?" and bump knuckles:
