CURRENT MISSION

Live life as much as I can and see where the hell it takes me <3.

ABOUT ME

I'm 24, grew up right outside of Wilmington, Delaware and survived a rather underwhelming childhood with lots of silliness that is irrelevant. I turned 18, packed a few suitcases, got a one way ticket to Los Angeles and went. I lived there for around two years before I traveled up in to Northern California, where I stayed in both north and south bay outside of San Francisco. After 'Frisco, I spent upwards of 7/8 months living in middle/northern Alberta, Canada before I eventually came back to Delaware.

I spent a year of my life participating in the Occupy Wallstreet movement, which had me sleeping in tents and on sidewalks in major cities on the east coast. I will never give up those memories for anything, it was a beautiful experience in my life and a huge moment of growth for me.

Beyond that, I've managed a Hookah Lounge, a Coffee Shop and do some freelance Web & Graphic Design. I love yoga and have become increasingly addicted to fitness, which goes along with wanting to begin Ballet. All of it is most definitely because I've been enrolled in school for Trapeze, Aerial Silks and Corde Lisse (rope). It's all considered Aerial Circus Arts and while I don't consider myself even close to a pro, I would love to one day be a performer.

PHILOSOPHY

If I were to sum up any philosophy on life, it would be that we only have it once. I'm content in the belief that there is nothing afterwards, no grand scheme. Just that we are a beautiful accident in the process of evolution and lucky natural selection. An animal, through complete accident and fortune perpetuated into beings of slightly higher reasoning then the rest of the earthlings we share the planet with.

Through that beautiful disaster, we have this one chance to do what we want to do and make the most of it. And so, under this ideal, live life like you're going to die tomorrow and make sure there is no regret. Mistakes happen but make sure that in the end, the only thing you have to think back on when your life is flashing through your eyes or you're inhaling your last breath is, "That was one hell of a ride".
