ABOUT ME

I have been in school for so long, I must really like it.

PHILOSOPHY

-to always make the best of any given situation, or get out
-fear is often unwarranted
-just because someone is far, far away, and you've never met them, they still deserve compassion
-go easy on the old planet
-there is usually a choice between laughing and crying
