well, I like being outside, I like the ocean and I like heights. I like to climb to the top of very high things or stand at the edge of a cliff, and see that there's nothing in front of me, and if the cliff is by an ocean, that's even more awesome, that just makes life worthwhile ;) wildlife facinates me, and I like to explore and i like adventure. I'm a musician, I write songs and I like playing guitar and sing. I am pretty ridiculous sometimes. okay maybe most of the time. when people first meet me they see the rebellious side of me like I'm trouble and the reason I'm fun is all the havoc I wreck, because I'm unconventional and daring and I'm full of crazy ideas. For some reason I often can have this seemingly extremely outgoing personality when I'm with people. but when I'm alone I am very contemplative and I like to go to quiet places where I can think about life and feel completely still like all of it eventually comes down to the mist of a breath and how far the horizon always still is.

I am a Christian, and everyday I'm learning and trying to be salt and light of the world, to serve as a faithful witness of His mercy, to excercise humility and modesty and sacrifice, and often failing miserably, heh, but regardless, I'm growing and being shaped by His grace a little bit everyday. Sometimes I'm disturbed by the discord between how the world is, how I am, and how it all ough to be, but eventually recognize that maybe fall and redemption is what makes creation more beautiful than nothing at all. I can really be stupidly naive sometimes, but the truth is, I want to be, I still refuse to believe the world is a place where you can't be. I'm usually extremely laid back, though there is an intensity that I only express when its safe.

I dunno, I'm very different a lot of times and I don't really know how to describe myself, and I think I'd probably rather be outside climbing a tree than typing an essay here



I am spontaneous, adventurous, and sincere
