CURRENT MISSION

My current mission in life is to try and make a possitive difference in the world.

ABOUT ME

About me? What can I say about me? I am... life, flesh, blood, earth, love, water, desire, young, confusing, a breath, shy, independent, a daughter, modest, a summer breeze, open-minded, insecure, a friend, anxious, a religious nonbeliever, short, sarcastic, a carbon based life form, bitchy, a sister, energy, able, willing, passionate, artistic, impatient, flirty, a cuddler, addicted to coffee, moonlight, gentle, a light rain, the destination, respectful, unemployed, understanding, and... Tonya.

I absolutely love to meet new people. I want to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

Something will have gone out of us as a people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed; if we permit the last virgin forests to be turned into comic books and plastic cigarette cases; if we drive the few remaining members of the wild species into zoos or to extinction; if we pollute the last clear air and dirty the last clean streams and push our paved roads through the last of the silence, so that never again will Americans be free in their own country from the noise, the exhausts, the stinks of human and automotive waste. ~Wallace Stegner

Teach, Learn, Share

"After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn't mean possession and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build your roads today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth. And you learn . . .and you learn . . ." - Veronica A. Shoffstall
