I create.
I'm all about music, writing, compassion, sociality, and optimism. I make a point of brightening people's days. I love talking to strangers when I'm taking a walk or visiting an open mic. I find the most joy when I successfully create original work - it means that I've left a brand new mark in the world. I'm passionate about social change. I sing, play, compose, and lyricize music. Someday when I have millions of dollars, I'm going to get a pilot's license, buy an airplane and travel all over the world.
