CURRENT MISSION

To be true to myself, carry out my goals and dreams, and to BE HAPPY!!

ABOUT ME

I am open-minded and love learning about people and what makes them tick. I love just sitting back with company and having great conversation. I am passionate, honest, and hardworking. I am thoughtful, talkative, but can be shy at times (a goal of mine to be more spontaneous with meeting people), good-humored and silly. I believe that every person can make a difference, and love volunteering and helping others (or little critters).
I like to have fun and go to bars and such with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

love, Love, LOVE! The key to life is love. The key to religion is love. Love for others, and everyone around you.

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."--Beatles

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can read music, and play piano. So maybe the basics on that. But if someone wanted to teach me guitar, it'd be better than what I know at the moment haha.
