I think for myself and I care deeply about the world. I believe in equality and justice and I try to live mindfully.

I'm living the quiet life in my hometown working an office job until the fall when I'll be starting graduate studies. Most importantly, I'm learning to live the good life.

A cute boy from Ottawa just looked at my profile, reminding me that's where I'll be moving in a few months. It'd be fun to make friends there before my move.

The talent I've cultivated the most is writing and I continue to work at it every day. Another one of my passions is gardening and I like to think I have a green thumb.

Probably that I eat very healthily.

How crucial it is to be present in the moment; it is all happening right now. This is it.

Listening to the frogs, reading or watching TV. Truly don't go out much lately.

Ironing is kind of taking over my life lately.

I really enjoy meeting new gay/queer guys. Drop me a thoughtful line and I'll respond.
