I don't force myself into liking things, so my interests are rather limited, but sincere.
Life companions, storytelling (any art form), my family -natural, and chosen-, significance, warmth, foreign languages, obsessive traits, cat ladies of the world, Cuba, cognitive processes, knowledge beyond realities of preference, equality for all, women's issues, immigration, tolerance, humanization over excess derivative frivolity, creation as means of deflection, solitude, BALANCE, bliss.
Remedios La Bella, Samuro Jenkins & Jarle Bicicleta
I'd like to meet:
nosotros. libres y contentos.
