CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I don't have much to say, except that my passions are photography and writing. I read a lot, and consider myself a movie buff. I support myself, and cut ties with my parents. Experience and person to person connections are the most important things to me in life.

PHILOSOPHY

"The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours. But to win it requires total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence, which is man, for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the morality of life and yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth." - Ayn Rand
