About Me


I believe in giving the benefit of the doubt and looking on the bright side. It's my opinion that regret is a waste of time that could be spent learning and that living in a bubble isn't really living at all.
Driving at night, sitting in coffeehouses and bicycling are when I'm most at peace. I hate going to the dentist, feeling vulnerable and having discussions with close-minded individuals.
You won't catch me wearing clothes that make me look like a walking billboard or centralizing my schedule around TV shows.
Caffeine does nothing for me and I never liked coffee until I discovered mochas. In addition to chai, my other addictions include The Daily Show, PostSecret, Time magazine and food.

Piano, poetry and photograph relax and excite me like nothing else.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
