: About Me

Being far from exceptional is what I love about myself. It is precisely the magnificence of all my imperfections that I'm learning to ever so fondly and painstakingly embrace.

I'm smitten by an intellectual conversation that can stimulate me to my very core.
I'm a slightly cynical, closeted over-achiever with hopes and dreams of making a difference. Mark my words; it will happen.

'Till then, I'll long for truth, youth and proximity.

My passion is ...

My favorite memory ...

I hold many, most from my childhood. They were filled with magical laughter. I want to go back to innocence.

Why I write ...

It's my release. I've always been able to gather my thoughts in a somewhat concise yet coherent pattern as a steady flow encounters me. I'm a lot calmer when I write and it's by far the most effective self-reflection tool.

My best moment ...

Every moment should be lived as it were nothing. . but the very best.

My inspiration ...

In a sick twisted way, pain and heartache. And the must-needed strength to get past it.
