I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I strive to be open-minded and empathetic. I think lack of empathy is the cause for most of our strife. I try to stay positive and see the humor in most things.Most of the time I'm either writing, reading, talking, or walking. I have the coolest family ever and the best and most diverse friends I could ask for.

I'd like to meet:

Diane Keaton, Leonard Cohen, artists, writers, people who have hope, people that believe in the present and people who don't always dwell on what was because really it just doesn't exist...so get over it! Oh and maybe the ghost of Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski, and Bill Hicks. Other than that, I've already met some of the best people in the world (refer to my top friends list).
