About Me

Free MySpace BackgroundsI am simple yet complex. I am quiet yet talkative. I live for the melty moments of life. I live honestly and try to play with my cards on the table. I am sappy, affectionate, romantic, girly, thoughtful and loveable. I am driven, dedicated and loyal.I am a very spiritual person and my religion and godfamily is the focus of my life. I am Lucumi and a child of the orisha Oshun. I am patiently waiting for the day when I can receive her crown and begin my new life as her priest. Though my religion is intensely important to me, I don't expect other people in my life to share in these beliefs or be spiritual people.I am saddened by the hatred and meanness that is so commonly found in this world. My heart is that of a revolutionary and advocate. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect and love no matter their race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, gender identification, etc. I am not a patriot and refuse to accept nationalistic ideals.
At heart I am a dork... a cute one though.
