About Me

I'm Erica."I am someone who proudly and humbly affirms that love is the mystery-of-mysteries, and that nothing measurable matters “a very good God damn”: that “an artist, a man, a failure” is no mere whenfully accreting mechanism, but a givingly eternal complexity—neither some soulless and heartless ultrapredatory infra-animal nor an un-understandingly knowing and believing and thinking automation, but a naturally and miraculously whole human being—a feelingly illimitable individual; whose only happiness is to transcend himself, whose every agony is to grow."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." I want to meet people who make me think, who make me laugh. People who are cultured and aren't afraid to try new things. I want to meet explorers and people who are happy to stay still. Someone who can talk for hours about their favorite book, movie, or song and someone who can give me suggestions for all of those. I want to meet people who can teach me things I haven't already learned, and people who can give me a different perspective on the things I have. I want to meet people who can sit with me without saying a word, and be okay with that.
