About Me

i have a lot of work to do in this world. superficial conversations do not interest me, but i am too judgmental about what defines superficiality. i am experiencing the heart-breaking process of making my own decisions, which is humbling and empowering. i love creative minds and caring hearts and people who speak their desires clearly. i listen patiently but act impatiently, and i will work to find balance there. natural highs are best; impromptu jam sessions are better. i smile a lot but let tears fall if they need to fall. i'm comfortable with change. i am trying to listen to myself and to the wisdom of others and will one day find the shortest distance between what i need and what i obtain. working with youth is one of the most exhausting, challenging, and rewarding endeavors i've undertaken. i am excited to heal myself and then move on to the work of healing others. myspace layouts for Get this layout for your myspace page.
