About Me

I'm passionate, yet a procrastinator. I'm a perfectionist with no sense of patience. I yearn for changes, but lack motivation. I focus too much time on myself, while getting too wrapped up in the outside world. I've never felt like a fully-defined person, but I feel completely at peace with myself at times. I can see no point to this world, but enjoy every moment of this life.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The Dalai Lama
