About Me

I'm 29 and I've learned my lessons. No matter how much you try to be honest, no one ever truly appreciates the truth. I used to volunteer everything in my head and heart to anyone and everyone, but now I've seen that people use that to their advantage sometimes. So, only a few people will truly understand who I am. If there's something you want to know, you're going to have to take the time to know me. Just be patient.

My Interests

spirituality, philosophy, religions from around the world, acting, writing, directing, making movies.
Which Super Hero Are You?

Superman!
You are the most popular super hero; your vigor is extremely appreciated and rewarded. Despite your supernatural abilities, you are grounded. Your peers accept that you are different from them and often designate you as their leader. You love being active and challenging yourself. You have a clear sense of what is right and wrong, and as a result are unfazed by new people and unfamiliar places.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

Intrapersonal Intelligence
Some people thing you're a loner, but you just like spending time in your own head with your own thoughts. You're attracted to the works of great philosophers. You've got an intense understanding of yourself, and wish other people were as self-aware as you are. The company of others can be a distraction and an irritant sometimes. You learn best when left alone to figure out the problem for yourself. You'd be best suited to a career as an academic, theologian, philosopher, psychiatrist, or writer.

Quizzes by myYearbook.comand i love talking with people and just finding out about different points of view outside of my own. whether i agree with them or not, that's something else entirely, but i'm always interested in "the other side" of the story. i don't think you can go through life with a closed or narrow-minded view of the world. if we try, we neglect everything that makes us human.
