Paymon!

from a deep dream i woke and swear, the world is deep, deeper than day had been aware.

About Me

Its important for me to always remember everything I have been given. Family, friends, and all the virtues of freedom that I think about everyday and fuel all of the passion. There is work to do in life, family and friends to be loyal to, passion to pour out of youself into something else, love to give to the world around you, and change that needs to be made - and we are the ones to do all of it. To look into someone else and appreciate them for who they are is essential for me to understand myself and the world around. I like being serious when it comes to thinking about everything, but very fun when I'm in the moment. I'd probably like to be your friend :)

My Interests

Family, friends, music, concerts, medicine, activism (HIV/AIDS), dancing, meeting new people, reading, health care, outdoors, missing MY NEW SITAR thats i've been reunited with... :D!

I'd like to meet:

People who give to ideas to others and to their passions knowing that there is nearly nothing else more important. I hope to meet others who have balance, poise, dignity and respect so I can learn more from them. I want to find in people all the virtues that are right, and replace those with mine which seem to be in a state of repair --
