About Me

About me is probably most difficult section to update with out coming off as an utter fool or self-indulgent brat.
But here goes.
I love long hikes, I'm not "good" at them, but nonetheless, I will endure and LOVE them.
I love to take pictures, lots of pictures and show them to everyone.
Meeting new people is a must. I may go through 20 new people every month, but it seems that everytime, I find a keeper though it all.
I absolutely 100% believe that everything happens for a reason and we, as energy filled and operated human beings, DO control our future.
I wish I could travel more, I fully enjoy a new sight around every bend. Down to the tiniest flower or even noticably evolved fly.
I live change. (That is not a typo) If it is wrong, make it right, if it is different but you don't understand it, let it be, until you know and UNDERSTAND.
I believe understanding is what makes us grow as a society.
Understanding is ENTIRELY based on perspective.
I believe people absolutely DO change. Why else would there be "growing-up"?
I will give a person as many chances as he/she needs.
I am judgemental. I cannot help it. It was how I was raised. I try to be judgemental in a good way and in moderation. I try to see everything good in all people. Sometimes, the good in people does not outweigh their poor choices. I fail to accept jeopardizing my life and progress for others' poor choices.
I will love everything for what it is, not what I wish it could be. Goes to say, it is what it is.
I struggle most with the above statement, but alas, I am LEARNING.
I am open to all critism, judgement, and redicule. You just had better be able to stand on your own two feet when I ask you why.

My Interests

Green Living, hiking, Sustainability, Volunteering, Volleyball, Going to the beach, playing beach ball, indoor volleyball, biking, having dinner at home and then dancing the night away

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who offers a positively contemplative standpoint. Persons of interest and intrigue. Genuine and caring. Loving and giving. Someone who is positive and straightforward. HONEST and AUTHENTIC
