Welcome to my secret sanctuary. My thoughts, wishes, visions, recorded in text and frozen in time.

new year, new life.
This was actually my 4th choice of skin, changed for the coming of 2010! Yeah, the first 3 choices failed due to inactive image hosting. But it's okay, i'm pretty happy with this one too!

my life, my rules.
1) Look outside the box, look even at the things you weren't searching for.

2) Live life in harmony with your surrounding elements, live life without hate- only with love and acceptance.

3) Follow your heart, and never stray. Love your world; love your life, trust it- and life will return it in kind.

Eh, have I told you i'm almost always in love?

friends who thought of me.

'friend' is the new 'bro'.
