About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my youth, meet interesting people, make amazing memories

ABOUT ME

I'm a very social person who loves to go out and be with friends all the time. That being said, I also love to hang out by myself and read good books. I love to draw and paint but I want to get better at it. I'm just trying how to figure out life in the most fun way possible. I love talking about philosophical issues and ideas, astronomy, languages, and culture.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a big one, and I'm not about to type up everything...I really love Eckhart Tolle.
