CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the power and beauty of my youth

ABOUT ME

I am an introvert but I love meeting new people. I am really laid back and optimistic. I am a huge nerd. I like wandering around the city, being around growing things and large bodies of water, watching movies, quoting movies, singing (not well), talking in accents, listening to accents, meeting new people, exploring, reading, listening to music, thinking and learning more about God, and talking about all these things. I spend far too much time online, but time we enjoy wasting is not wasted.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life for the glory of God, and fail constantly. But His grace is sufficient for me.

All homo sapiens are people before they are anything else.
