I am a champion for caring more than you should. I look at buildings and at menus and at all sorts of things that were made by people and I think it shines through when something was made with love and patience. With so many faceless things being manufactured​ in this world, it is uplifting to see and to make things that make a heart smile to itself. Other than that, I'm unsure of how to describe myself. I suppose I am interested in delving into and wallowing in and reascending from the many mysteries this life has put in front of us.

My only request is that you are sincere towards me. I am interested in talking with all types of people, so don't be shy as long as you are honest.
