Interests & Hobbies
Meaning of Life:
To make the most of this moment, in this body, regretting little to nothing, breaking out of the "comfort zone," and saying yes to new experiences and opportunities that invite joy to one's life and expand the understanding of oneself no matter how exciting or uncomfortable life becomes. Happiness comes from within. I just want to be happy.
