About Me

My past: Led me here. My present: Enlightenment a state I seek, confusion often where I land. Just learning to be myself at all times. Discipline the mind to stop worrying. The actual state of my mind and soul? Feelings are a much more accurate communication of internal states than words. My future: Where all of this is leading towards.
