there is no freedom in life without freedom of mind.

About Me

human revolution..pushing to overcome things that sometimes feel impossible to change about myself. perception...there is an infinite number of ways to look at the world, i try not to get caught up in old familiar patterns that are detrimental to me. letting go of things that are of no benefit to my growth. cultivating wisdom and compassion in the face of adversity. looking at my life as a reflection of what's inside me, and trying to really understand what that means. constantly challenging myself and venturing outside of my comfort zone, no matter how uncomfortable. remembering that the only permanence in life is impermanence. and that life is about the journey, not the destination.

My Interests

.dancing. coffee. reading. hanging out. beer. talking. music. traveling. items. saying inappropriate things in public in a too loud voice. dirty looks. spontaneity. good smells. my bathrobe. animals. adventures at odd hours. weirdness. stuff.
