Craziest dream as a Kid?: Hmmm...probably the one where if I could swing on a swing-set high enough I could float up to the clouds, and fly away. More frequently though, while other kids had flying dreams, mine were "bouncing" dreams, like I had springs in my legs. oh yes it is as awesome as it sounds :D

Random Things you should know about me:

-I have an obsession with the world of punditry (real and fake news alike) going on 2 years at least. I write fiction.. real people fiction

-I admire people who think for themselves, and I, myself do so on a constant basis

-I have days where thoughts don't come out, words cannot be strung together, and real life just gets in the way of the more important things.

-I don't know what I'd do without my friends, because family members don't live up to my standards..and I've lowered the bar quite a bit for them

-Sometimes I wonder how people put up with me, but then I remember that love forgives a lot of things

-I'm still figuring out a lot of things about myself, stuff that I've suppressed, because of past issues with people in my life. This process often leaves people wondering why I'm acting a little different from when I first met them, but the people who matter understand that a person doesn't stay the same, they're fluid, they CHANGE.

Shout-Out to my Friends on here, without you guys, I'd probably be pretty lost in the world

I love you all <3

Memorable Quotations:

"So I be written in the Book of Love
I do not care about that Book Above
Erase my name, or write it as you will
So I be written in the Book of Love."

"When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. "

"No matter what your political orientation is, if you don't stick up for freedom of all opinion, eventually the wheel will turn, you'll be the minority and you'll have written the rules by which you yourself are squashed."

"One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings."
