i am intrigued by: life; we have a love/hate relationship. it is horrifically, wonderfully, confusingly beautiful. death; there is a certain morbid beauty to that as well. people; they will forever be a mystery to me, including myself. the human brain; we will never know enough about it. why we do what we do[human behavior in general]. dreams. wonder. paradoxes. knowledge.
*i never want a day in my life to pass where i have not gained some sort of knowledge, hope or inspiration-and passed it on to someone else. every day, in some way, i want to inspire and be inspired-no matter how great or small it may be.*
*we all, in our own way, are unique; therefore making us not quite so unique after all.*
*LIFE. you'll never make it out alive...*
