My personal creed is to live for the moment, question everything and endeavour to learn it, read and seek knowledge from cradle to coffin, be at peace with the world around you... explore it and embrace it, and never leave the world without giving one thing back that contributes to human peace... be it a book, a movement, or giving your best friend a smile.... That's who I am and that's how I want to be known... love me or leave me be... I won't change for anyone..

- Someone who loves to write nice lengthy letters/e-ma​ils, open minded and very chatty.... oh and with an intellectual​ streak (yes, a working brain that they use..) a wonderful sense of humour
- Someone honest, real...  consistent, and who is not afraid to be themselves..​.
- Challenging,​ someone who loves good debate and who challenges me intellectual​ly and emotionally - its breathtaking​ and bold..
