MY PHILOSOPHY / I am a firm believer in what doesn`t kill you only makes you stronger. / If you live everyday fearing tomorrow, then you never really live today. But if you don`t work today for a tomorrow, you probably won`t have one. / Everyone in this world tries so hard to be
different, that they all end up the same. Appearances can only change so much, what makes us individuals is our thinking. / Stereotypes have such a bad connotation, but they are not so bad all the time. There are positive stereotypes. What`s popular isn`t always bad; and if it is good why fight a good thing? / There`s a differnece between reading about life and living it. / I don`t think complete freedom is possible, as long as you care about anything in this world, even if you care enough to hate... you`ll never be free. Emotions will tie you down. / I think it`s easier to determine what you don`t like rather than what you do. / I`ve been through what I like to think of as hell, and one lesson I`ve learned is if you`re there...just keep going. / Masturbation is healthy... so is crying. / I think relationships break up because they forget how to be friends and the amount of time put in a relationship is no reason to stay together. / I don`t know what love is, my definition of love changes everyday, but I`m learning what it is with everyone I care for. / I make one promise when it comes to relationships... I`ll try. / Communication is not so much what you say, it's what the listener understands. / Always laugh at yourself, it's the best form of therapy / The truth is ugly, lies are even uglier. / Never ask for more than what you can provide. / Life is an experiment. It's full of new things you should always try, even if it scares you, it helps you breathe better. / The sexist thing about me will always be my intelligence.

I don't want to meet people without anything intelligent to say, especially guys who just look at a pretty face and don't think I'm a geeky mad scientist behind those glasses. If you message
me, please understand that flattery will get you
nowhere, but realisim and something witty will. I'd like to meet someone whom in the morning I can wake up next to and not say "What the fuck did I just do? And what he hell am I still doing here?" I don't want to meet highly opinonated people that claim to have an open mind but really stuff thier opinon down one's throat till they gag. I love drama free people that aren't overly sensitive and can handle the truth because they are secure enough in themselves to know what's real and what's one's opinion.
