I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I love to learn. And most of all I want to learn how to fill myself and people round me with uninhibited happiness. Don't want to ever take anything for granted. Want to show people how much they truly matter. I enjoy seeing people smile in slow motion, understanding them, engaging them, listening, and having them listen instead of just waiting for their turn to talk [fight club mantra] ... being questioned and asking questions. I am workin ..ing a degree and finding my true path. Working at a private special education school and attempting to cover my ass until I figure out where i'm going... want validation, a shoulder, an open heart, compliments, somone to talk to me and then shut up and really hear me. [again] find comfort wrapped up in something and comtemplating my exsistence through a multitude of mediums....
"The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words." -Rachel Naomi Remen
