a ground-shaker, a mold-breaker, a curious little bit.

oh...you know...the usual. a punk rocker who loves george michael. a surfer stockbroker. a hipster breakdancer. an entrepreneur without a diploma. a biker ballerina. a bgirl violin teacher. an artist businessman. a trustafarian with a conscience but not guilt. a super-social introvert. a performer who observes from the stage. a watcher who performs from the audience. a poet who loves oscar wilde and eminem JUST the same. and janis and tupac. and faith and biology. and staying up till two in the morning reading with a higligher, and going out dancing in new york city-bought adidas. and being at odds with EVERTHING you were supposed to be a part of. the ones who know their own identity. the ones who CHOOSE their own identity. the ones who aren't afraid to challenge, the ones who aren't afraid to change. the ones who don't deny their fears, but act IN SPITE of them. i want THAT. THAT THAT THAT. give it to me
