I love listening to people, and I'm more than willing to do just that if you need an ear. I'm a very quiet person though (at least at first). I don't talk all that much. You have two ears and one mouth... I think there's a reason for that. I try to focus on the good that is happening around us. I like to think that the glass is half full, and I and I'd like to see it overflowing. I would love to see an increase in our morals, values, and the number of decent-good-hearted-people-that-actually-care-about-others. I don't watch the "news". I would love to see people starting to care about the people and the world surrounding them. That being said... I'm very fond of stuff, and I also really like things. Feel free to say hello if you see me around.
