Your's is the first face that I saw, think I was blind before I met you.

About Me

I've been trying to describe my hometown, I need help. I've got no sense of direction. I'm humbled by so many things. I love walking down a street I've already walked down one hundred times before and noticing something new or something really beautiful. I've got an avid interest in travel, or at least talking about how I'll get to travel again someday. I'm kind of uptight. I could spend my days watching pacers basketball. I am overall liking the midwest, other than the 99% humidity that seems to be standard now. MyGen Profile Generator
