Most likely the most honest person you've ever met. I love laughing, seek happiness, and play guitar. Pictures of contrast on human skin are only topped by actually being there. Old people have so many stories to tell, often with a beautiful crease along their brow, beside their eyes, and above their chin. The timber of their voice can be haunting and quietly inspirational. I love music, movies, creativity, expressions, and bridge lights on the water. I find happiness in and define my existence and purpose through my loved ones. I cannot create, but modify and hopefully enhance. I am at times very rational and measured, and in others dreamy and disconnected. I believe beauty can be found in anything, and happiness can be found anywhere. There is a piece inside of me that mirrors even the most abhorrent of movie characters. I believe that everyone is inherently awesome; unfortunately, many do not allow themselves to be, prefering to bring others down rather than rise and meet them with a smile. I am not religious or even spiritual, but I believe in life and in love. Those are the assumptions upon which the rest of my beliefs are based, with shared happiness as purpose. I Still get bogged down with mundane shit like everyone else. I love the human body, but if forced to choose, most appreciate the small of a woman's back, I think. I'm mostly a pragmatic optimist. Loving even one person deserves more time and passion than I could ever provide with infinite lifetimes. This is slightly sad, but happiness comes from the effort. However, the impetus is not to please them, but rather your own desire. Anything more than selfish fulfillment breeds dishonesty to yourself and others, not to mention resentment, jeopardizing the very happiness you seek and hope for others. I love to sing. I firmly believe laughter, dance, and song will lead to a healthier life than the strictest of diets or workout regimens. Those are good ideas, too, though. The body and mind cannot be separated. If a soul does exist, then it lies in the absolute uniqueness of each persons synaptical network and experiences. Science and magic are not mutually exclusive. No chemist will EVER fully understand the brain, just as no physicist will ever find the definitive subatomic building block. Like light: it just is. Harmony between body and mind is necessary, as they are one. I, too, exist...and that smacks of soul to me. We must be true to our desires. Depriving one's self of physical pleasures is the path to false enlightenment. But, you cannot know your desires if mind is similarly ignored or held in distain. I believe enlightenment can only come with self-knowledge and subsequent action. While fully knowing yourself may never be possible, enlightenment is merely an over-hyped transitory process, self-acceptance is the key. Embrace what you find, and be who you are. However, at the same time, you must allow for change as truth is never in the same place twice. We must strive to feel worthy of being loved, of being happy, of receiving from others, and of living. We must also feel worthy of giving, of sharing our thoughts and emotions. Shame leads to destruction. Acceptance leads to happiness. At least, these are things I currently believe. I still think the childhood tale that I can be or do whatever I want is true. We all can. I want to be happy, and I try to work toward that every day. While I must understand I am not alone in the world with my desires, I must also not temper my dreams or give in to ease of passage. Being yourself is rarely easy, and I fail daily. But, I try, and therefore live. Some may think my glasses are all too rose-tinted, but I'm just trying my best to make sense of my experiences...even if it comes out a might optimistic at times.
I often wonder how to define reality, but usually settle on practical assumptions about matter and existence to facilitate action and try to avoid existential anxiety through self-exploration.
This might all only make sense to myself, but it's a poorly summarized basis for my life. I oftentimes seem quite hypocritical and/or contradictary. If you ever wonder why I've chosen a certain action, then look here, or simply ask me. There's a chance I'll remember; I have a bad memory. Most times I simply extrapolate why I think I would've done it based on my knowledge of myself. It's a crapshoot, but I'm more likely to be right than anyone else you could ask, I'd wager. I take the privilege of ostensible but assumed agency with great care and some amount of flagging conviction. Haha...okay, I've been serious long enough. Time to dream about something I'll probably never remember.

“And the Constitution itself is in every real sense a law-the lawmakers being the people themselves, in whom under our system all political power and sovereignty
primarily resides, and through whom such power and sovereignty primarily speaks. It is by that law, and not otherwise, that the legislative, executive, and judicial agencies which it created exercise such political authority as they have been permitted to
possess." -- I don't remember
