My Interests

taking even better pictures. seeing better, feeling more. getting non-profit stats. for the tinder box asap. listening better, doing my homework. working on becoming a better person, and improving my line drawing skills. absorbing and remembering clearer. i am interested in keeping my head attached to my body.
