CURRENT MISSION

to love with my heart and not with my mind.

ABOUT ME

i just wanna get this out of the way, because i'm really open about it. even though i don't have to explain it to anyone, i am transgender, i just want to get that out there and if you have any problems with that, i will not be able to host/stay with you.

anyways, i love people that love and aren't afraid to show it. i'm kinda shy at first. but i'll get over that fast if we click. i love culture, opinions, open-mindedness, coffee, sushi, music, the beach, public transportation, old people, reading, museums, parks, getting lost in queer/gender/feminist theory. i really love everything. well, besides homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, misogyny, classism and so on.

PHILOSOPHY

seeing beauty in everything and everyone. treating people with respect. not being judgemental and always keeping an open mind, even if you're skeptical about a situation. you never know what could happen :)
