All artists: visual, musician, performer, writer--those who just have a general creativeness about them. Those who do something, rather than complain about something. Be honest, non-judgemental, interested in self-betterment. Embrace the unknown. Challenge pre-conceived notions.

My ideal relationship is currently best described by the following passages:
"...we walked in Central Park in the early morning. We walked every morning. We did not always walk together because we liked different routes but we would keep the other's route in mind and intersect before we left the park." --from The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
