Life is Good.

About Me

I've created a list of every country I want to visit. I have about 7 down, 30 more to go. Different cultures inspire me to change. The largest priority right now in my life is my education... I work to live, not the other way around. I love to garden, read, and write. Yoga silences my mind after a hectic day. I love my family and friends more than anything and would go to the ends of the world for them...I listen to something in just about any genre. Music, books, and movies really are important. I am highly interested in the metaphysical. Debate politics with me and I'll turn you into a socialist.
