: About Me

Age: 36

Hobbies: Music, yoga, piano, coffee!

Education: BA in Journalism & Mass Comm.

Beliefs: I believe all people have a choice on how to live their lives. Our past is over. Today is the only day that matters. If you believe in something, it is real.

Family: Single, youngest of 5 children

Why Helium: I enjoy the challenge to write something others would find interesting enough to spend a few moments of their day reading.

Plans: I want to open a business and run it from a laptop on a deserted island :)

Hopes: I hope the people of this world can value "this" life enough to prevent total destruction of every living thing. To me it's simple. Do we want to try to fix the world, or do we have other beliefs that call for the end of the world. What is right? I do no know.

But no one can hear me when that train goes by? For after the train passes, the smoke will clear But I just can't sit here waiting
