I am here for Friends

About Me

THE SOLE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS THE EXPERIENCE OF LIVING. I AM A STUDENT OF LIFE - NOTHING MORE. I AM FLAWED AND FILLED WITH ICKY INCONSISTENCIES. ANAIS NIN ONCE SAID "PERFECTION IS STATIC." I WANT NOTHING OF PERFECTION. I WANT TO LIVE, LEARN AND GROW. GIVE ME HONEST PEOPLE WHO ARE HONEST WITH THEMSELVES, EVEN ABOUT THEIR FLAWS AND LITTLE IDIOSYNCRATIC WAYS, AND WE SHALL WALLOW TOGETHER IN THE BEAUTIFUL STICKINESS THAT IS HUMAN NATURE.

My Interests

The Reset - Grief vs Depression

I know I need to post it.  I know I need to put it out there.  I know I need to let it go (which posting does in a way). Yet somehow, I  just don't know what to say to do any of it justice.  My head a...
