CURRENT MISSION "I do it for the joy it brings, because I'm a joyful girl. 'Cause the world owes me nothing. We owe each other the world." ABOUT ME "I do it for the joy it brings, Because I'm a Joyful Girl Because the world owes me nothing We owe each other the world I do it 'cause it's the least I can do I do it 'cause I learned it from you I do it just because I want to I want to, I want to Everything I do is judged. They mostly get it wrong, but oh well The bathroom mirror has not budged, The woman who lives there can tell The truth from the stuff that they say She looks me in the eye And says 'Would you prefer the easy way? No? Well okay, then don't cry.' I wonder with everything I do, I do instead Something I want to do more, The question fills my head I know there's no grand plan here, This is just the way it goes And when everything else seems unclear, I guess at least I know I do it for the joy it brings Because I'm a Joyful Girl Because the world owes me nothing We owe each other the world I do it 'cause it's the least I can do I do it 'cause I learned it from you I do it just because I want to Oh, I want to I just want to." -Ani Difranco PHILOSOPHY "For me there is only the traveling on the paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge for me is to traverse its full length. And there I travel—looking, looking, ....breathlessly." -Don Juan Matus
