ABOUT ME

My name is Dan Wilkins, Born and raised in the thriving metropolis of SCANDIA... I have amazing people in my life and am lucky for it.

If I were to sum up the majority of my beliefs in one sentence, it would most likely be "Do unto others as you would like to have done unto you", Or treat others how you would like to be treated, I also consider this idea not only important for treatment of humans, but also animals, and the planet. I try to exist in harmony with the planet and those on it. Peace and Love is my motto :).

Some of my other stronger beliefs are:
I try to avoid labels (in general). I just try to live, to exist, and act as I am compelled to. I don't know. Labels try to over simplify people, to put people into little stratified boxes that match up with other peoples preconceived ideas of what "life" should be. It is, in my opinion, lazy thinking, to make things easier for people to understand ideas that they don"t want to put the effort into really understanding. I think shying away from labels promotes both individual and societal strength. Labels serve to build small groups that segregate that group from everyone else. I think it's better to accept others as "others" going through existence, and still embrace our evolving individuality. In this way we are all still connected and unified, but unique.

As far as my personality, I am overall just a positive happy person. I really do try to look for the best in situations and people. A lot of how people's life situations turn out is determined by their attitude and perceptions of the situation itself. People can either make the best of it, or let it ruin them. In my opinion, the difference between someone who has "bad luck" and someone who has "good luck" is their attitude and perceptions in life.

I let my life be loosely guided by my feelings. I try not to stress about too much, and like I said, try to be positive about everything. I learn something in every situation that I am in, and I just try to stay cognoscente that no situation is forever, and it's ok, I just have to live my life the best I can, and experience and learn what I can in all the situations I am in.
