I love art, be it music, painting, photography, poetry, or any other form. I love being vague. I love peace, and I wish I could find it within myself. I love my friends, most of the time. I'm a helpless romantic, and possibly hopeless, but I will never settle. I am a leader. I am not a quitter, and detest those who are. I love to live and the bad things have shaped me just as much as the good. I would not trade a single one of them.
I'd like to meet:
Everyone. Smart, dumb, fat, skinny, short, tall, artistic, or artisticly challeneged, funny, depressing, sad, happy, and everything in between. The living, rather than the dying. People who don't try so hard to impress others. Shadow's need not apply. Shallow people need not apply.
If you can inspire me, please move to the front of the line. I need to be inspired.
I would like to be able to shake the hands of peace & understanding.
