May God's Love Be With You Always

About Me

I am quirky and strange and funny and intelligent, naive, intense, chill and passionate all at once, always. Can you handle it? I love life and I'm content with mine. I don't have to appologize for it, be ashamed of it or boast about it. Cuz I see myself making my own way in my own time so I'm not pressed about growing up faster than I'm meant to. All in due time. I've spent way too much time looking for fulfillment from others and have realized that no one else could ever give me the kind of support I need if I don't give it first - to me! So I'm just doing my own thing moving toward enlightenment, if you care to join me look forward...never back. I know I'm on to something

My Interests

Music, Singing, Tap Dancing, Salsa Dancing, Horsebackriding, Reading, Learning about otra culturas. and Writing and Speaking Poetry.

I'd like to meet:
