About Me

I try to always be myself and I hope to inspire others to do the same. I love life and I hope to help make a difference in the world. I prefer not to be labeled as having a specific style. I choose to fuse my many inspirations together and create my own style. I hope to dance through this life with a smile on my face. I try to always stay open to change my point of refrence as far as my beliefs go; as I feel the world is too vast for any of us to really know anything completly. Although, I do not always succeed; I try very hard to practice non judgement and allow everyone to follow there own paths at there own speed. Namastea style="vertical-align:middle" href
