ABOUT ME

I am outgoing, at ease with myself, cheerful (optimistic), have strong principles (especially regarding animal rights and sustainability), love languages and meeting new people. It is very important to me to be a loyal and good friend. I can marvel at small things - the taste of a freshly baked pie, the beauty of a fallen leaf or drop of dew on a small flower. I am grateful for the life I get to lead, all aspects big and small.
