About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be less multitasking or to find a way to develop my processor

ABOUT ME

Just a person trying to work her way through life. I enjoy this abstruse profundity of human affairs to a painful degree, and I have old-heinz-bottle-ketchup-effect.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm.., difficult to say but it would be something like: listen carefully and talk openly. Societies are composed of individuals, and stereotyping( which is to form oversimplified conceptions) eventually turns to social complications
