About Me

Favorite Quotes Ever:
'I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.' -Marilyn Monroe
'Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust. And when you're up it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down you never think you'll get back up again. But life goes on.' -the movie Blow.
'The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.' - Mahatma Gandhi
I'm out to see the world. I'm out to make this life count. I'm out to unlock the secrets of the universe. I'm out to remember the answers to the mysteries of life. I'm out to meet my soulmates. I'm out to accomplish the things I've been put back on this earth to do. I'm out to celebrate. I'm out to see the most beautiful things and meet the most awe-inspiring people. I'm out to make a difference. I'm out to help those in need. I'm out to take care of everyone I meet. I'm out to have fun.
I will not be kept down. I will not be told no. I will not blame others, even when I am not at fault. I will not turn my head to someone in need. I will not let ignorance go un-educated. I will not step on anyone to get to the top. I will not harm, physically or otherwise. I will not disrespect, be disrespected, or let anyone do any disrespecting in my presence. I will not stop questioning. I will not stop philosophizing. I will not loose faith in man. I will not loose faith in love. I will not oloose faith in beauty. I will not loose faith in life. I will not loose faith in a greater cause.
