Add to My Profile | More VideosThis is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.
If you're reading this you probably know me. I'm highly motivated and am very often let down by others extreme lack of motivation and common sense. Succes won't find you, you must create your own. This is a growing trend that I'm noticing. I suppose I could just not care, nor say anything? I love where I am in life and enjoy all that I have and all that I'm going towards.
