if dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts.

About Me

In like a lion, out like a lamb. I love being outside. I love dancing. I love riding bikes around the city and by the lake. I practice many styles. I like to keep it fresh, upfront, honest, and silly. I like photoshoots and giving haircuts. I love sleeping in. I like the moments when you loose track of time. Painting always makes me loose track of time. We should be dancing: yeah. I hate uniforms. Eyes have it, it's in there.

You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy.

People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused.
But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination. What Pattern Is Your Brain? "more oneness, less cataclyst,
open hearts, no strategy
