About Me

I still believe in humanity, peoples intentions are virtuous and the only wrong that people do is an oversight or due to ignorance. I believe there is beauty in everything and if you cant see it its your fault that you're not looking in the right place. I live for moments of beauty, realization, and passion. I love melancholy as much as I love happiness. I am a very lucky person, I trust that the world will take care of me and it always does (thank you world). I am very political. I try to improve the world and the lives of people around me with every choice that I make. I am a bioregionalist, and support the Cascadian secession from the union, in fact, I believe the US should be dissolved and broken up into 25 or so separate bioregions. I believe in the peoples history and think that everyone should try to understand their past so that it can inform their future. I have many ambitions and I am making them happen. Oh yeah and I'm a moral vegetarian.
