*I'm forever 26 (completely freaking out about turning 30)

*Life isn't always what you want it to be, but accepting who you are helps when the outcome isn't picture perfect.

*I'm a fan of good music. I prefer lyrics with a bit of a backbone, something that brings back memories or connects with life.

*My greatest love is my son. He is my peace and life line.

*I love photography, painting, drawing (although I don't get to do these things quite as much as I would like, with a toddler running around and such).

*I miss my youth (not that I am old), but I miss something I once had that will never be mine again, freedom, the unknown, hope, community.

*I have a hard time letting go.

*I am prone to anxiety attacks and insomnia (woo hoo).

*Why can't people believe what they want to believe? Why do people with different view points have to run around trying to convince everyone else they are wrong? I believe what I know is right for me and if I have faith, then why do people have to backlash me? I might not agree with them, but you don't see me running around trying to prove that they are wrong and that they must change their minds.

*I miss crowds. That feeling that your not alone.

*I love Japan and wish I were their now.

*My favorite thing is to talk long and hard as if it might be the last thing you ever say.
