About Me


I'm artistic. I try to be vegan. I advocate compassion seriously. I take it rather personally when I see injustice of any kind. I treat everyone with respect as long as they treat others with respect. I greatly admire kindness, independence, motivation, intelligence, loyalty, courage and generosity. Occasionally I believe the end justifies the means. I very much enjoy the company of animals. Often I'm totally oblivious to almost everything except for the random things I choose to pay attention to. I tend to accept people even when they don't accept themselves. I stand up for what I believe in. The grey area profoundly confuses me. I don't appreciate people who are overly judgmental, egotistical or close minded. I adore my family. I think language is an inadequate form of expression. I want to make change. I am deeply disillusioned yet I have faith. I love these two------
