About Me

Well, I was originally going to make this longer, but I don't suppose it matters much. I'm just going to give a list of those things that are most important to me:

Pursuit of understanding
Appreciation of beauty
Mastery over passions and emotion
Removal of prejudice
Simplification of life
Self-sufficiency

If you like what you see and want to chat, feel free to give me a hollar.
