"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman."
— Anais Nin
I'm a lover and a fighter, a romantic and a cynic. I read deep philosophical tomes and watch cartoons. I have swam in oceans, hiked on mountains, ran races, driven through the US from coast to coast, and sky-dived. I've made split second decisions to drive from the big city to the country. I believe in love and its ability to supersede any obstacle, but my feet are firmly grounded. I'm not afraid to admit weakness, and I think it is very important to make virtue a habit. A muscle grows stronger with use, and a mind stretched to new dimensions is never the same again.
